The effect of TGF beta on cancer cell lines was tested in the following study: 9 cell lines were tested and each cell line was established in tubes. Each tube was treated with either TGF beta or an placebo solution. Each cell line was also treeated with VitC solution or placebo solution. The number of viable cells were counted after a fixed amount of time.
A. Disregarding the effect of the cell lines and VitC, is there any difference in cell counts with respect to TGF beta? Use at least two tests, one of which is nonparametric.
B. Disregarding the effects of VitC and TGF beta, are there any differences in the cell lines? Use at least two tests, one of which is nonparametric. If there are differences in the cell lines, test which are different and which are the same.
C. Considering all three factors, are there any differences? (do a 2 by 2 by 9 factorial design) The interactions are: TGFbeta*Vitc, TGFbeta*celline, VitC*cellines, TGFb*Vitc*celline
D. Compare the three analyses.

Solution
MINITAB used for analysis
The effect of TGF beta on cancer cell lines was tested in the following study: 9 cell lines were tested and each cell line was established in tubes. Each tube was treated with either TGF beta or an placebo solution. Each cell line was also treeated with VitC solution or placebo solution. The number of viable cells were counted after a fixed amount of time.
