ANOVA Lab
You are interested in studying the neurological effects of dehydrogenated brominate oil, a food additive. You randomly select 25 Sprague-Dawley rats and add a dosage to their drinking water. Because the additive is odorless and colorless, the rats readily consume it. After six months you sacrifice the rats, microsection their brains and count the number of lesions in the hippocampus.
