ANOVA for plant growth

In this exercise, you will perform a one-way ANOVA to compare means across three groups.

Such a task might pop up during the interviews for various sectors, including engineering, marketing, and medical services.

Recall that the assumptions of ANOVA are:

Independence of cases
Normal distributions
Homogeneity (equality) of variances

You can check the two last assumptions with the Shapiro-Wilk test and Bartlett's test respectively.

The null hypothesis of a one-way ANOVA states that the means across groups are equal. $$ H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2 = … = \mu_n $$

Use oneway.test() to perform ANOVA in this exercise.

Watch out! So far, we've used tapply() to compute descriptive statistics across groups. We can use this function to perform statistical tests across groups, too!
