 3. Perform one-way tests twice: once for Type and once for Treatment

P value = 3.84, so Null hypothesis is rejected and uptake rates are dependent on plant origin.

In test for treatment, p-value = 0.0030957, Null hypothesis is rejected, Uptake rates is dependent on Treatment Types.

4. Perform a two-way test for Type and Treatment
fit_Type_Treatment=lm(uptake~Type*Treatment, data=CO2)
anova(fit_Type_Treatment)
## Analysis of Variance Table
## 
## Response: uptake
##                Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value    Pr(>F)    
## Type            1 3365.5  3365.5 52.5086 2.378e-10 ***

As the p-value for both Type and Treatment is very low, the Null hypothesis is rejected and both the Type and the Treatment affcet the uptake rate. Because the p-value for the interaction term is 0.06, Null is accepted and conclude that the no significant effect on uptake rates by Type and Treatment

  1. Use the mtcars dataset in R
  2. Use the table() function with the following combinations
    1. The variables vs and am
VsTransmission=with(mtcars, table(vs,am))
VsTransmission
##    am
## vs   0  1
##   0 12  6
##   1  7  7

2.The variables gear and carb

GearCarburetors=with(mtcars, table(gear, carb))
GearCarburetors
##     carb
## gear 1 2 3 4 6 8
##    3 3 4 3 5 0 0
##    4 4 4 0 4 0 0
##    5 0 2 0 1 1 1

3.The variables cyl and gear

CylindersGear=with(mtcars, table(cyl, gear))
CylindersGear
##    gear
## cyl  3  4  5
##   4  1  8  2
##   6  2  4  1
##   8 12  0  2

2.Perform a Chi-Squared analysis on the mtcars dataset for each of the three cases above

chisq.test(VsTransmission)
## 
##  Pearson's Chi-squared test with Yates' continuity correction
## 
## data:  VsTransmission
## X-squared = 0.34754, df = 1, p-value = 0.5555
chisq.test(GearCarburetors)
## Warning in chisq.test(GearCarburetors): Chi-squared approximation may be
## incorrect
## 
##  Pearson's Chi-squared test
## 
## data:  GearCarburetors
## X-squared = 16.518, df = 10, p-value = 0.08573
chisq.test(CylindersGear)
## Warning in chisq.test(CylindersGear): Chi-squared approximation may be
## incorrect
## 
##  Pearson's Chi-squared test
## 
## data:  CylindersGear
## X-squared = 18.036, df = 4, p-value = 0.001214

As the P value for VsTransmission and GearCarburetors are higher than 0.05, the Null Hypothesis is accepted and conclude that vs and transmission, gear and carb are independent with each other.

The p-value for the cylinder vs gear table is 0.0012141, The null hypothesis is rejected and conclude that the cyl and gear are dependent on each other, but the smaller values might come into play when the sample size is increased.
