Hi
I have a statistics problem which I cannot figure out on my own.
I have measured picking time (g/h) of four different varieties of
strawberries (the four varieties differing in the size of their fruits). My
initial hypothesis was that the picking speed would differ amongt the four
varieties (due to the different sizes of the fruits).
Having preliminarily inspected my data, it appeas that the main influential
factor is not strawberry variety, but rather the total amount of
strawberries of each variety ("total yield") - people thus tend to pick
faster when there are many berries to pick. For each variety, all
strawberries were picked.
I have measured picking time (h), picking speed (g/h), and total yield (g,
all the strawberries there were for each variety). Is there still a way for
me to test my initial hypothesis? If so, how should I do it? How do
separate / account for the influence of total yield on the picking speed?
Thanks for your time,
J
