In this experimental design, there are two factors: Sleep Condition and Caffeine. Each factor has two levels. The total number of treatments is 4, and each treatment represents a combination of one level from each factor.
To determine the number of factors, levels for each factor, and the number of treatments in this experimental design, we can break down the information provided step by step:
1. Factors:
- Factor 1: Sleep Condition (Normal Sleep vs. Sleep Deprived)
- Factor 2: Caffeine (With Caffeine Pill vs. Without Caffeine Pill)
2. Levels for Each Factor:
- Factor 1 (Sleep Condition):
- Level 1: Normal Sleep
- Level 2: Sleep Deprived
- Factor 2 (Caffeine):
- Level 1: With Caffeine Pill
- Level 2: Without Caffeine Pill
3. Number of Treatments:
To determine the number of treatments, multiply the number of levels for each factor. In this case, we have 2 levels for Factor 1 and 2 levels for Factor 2.
Number of treatments = Number of levels for Factor 1 × Number of levels for Factor 2
Number of treatments = 2 (levels for Factor 1) × 2 (levels for Factor 2) = 4 treatments
