Question

how should we distribute the plots from each treatment in the greenhouse? a) plots with high proportions of clawbrutus should be placed close to the walls b) plots with the same clawbrutus proportions should be grouped in the same region c) a single plot from each treatment should be randomly distributed d) all plots should be randomly distributed

Explanation:

In an experiment in a greenhouse, to avoid bias and ensure that any observed effects are due to the treatments and not to non - treatment factors like location within the greenhouse, random distribution of all plots is the best approach. Random distribution helps to evenly spread out any potential environmental gradients across the greenhouse among all treatments.

Answer:

d) All plots should be randomly distributed
