PCBs are often present in coolants, and are know to accumulate easily in the adipose tissue of shrimps. In this experiment, two groups of 18 samples (each 100 grams) of shrimps each were cultivated in different conditions, one control condition and one condition where the medium was poluted with PCBs. # Goal The research question is; is there an effect of the growth condition on the PCB concentration in the adipose tissue of shrimps. Note that the PCB concentrations were measured in pg/g adipose tissue. # Develop a Rmarkdown file that weaves data analyses, plots and results and answers to the following questions. 1. Explore the data what do you observe? 2. How will you model the data? 3. Translate the research question in a null and alternative hypothesis 4. Which test will you use to assess the research hypothesis? 5. Formulate the assumptions of the test and assess the assumptions using diagnostic plots. 6. If all assumptions to perform the test, complete the analysis and formulate a proper conclusion.
