ABSTRACT
It is known that plants respond to stimuli and music is considered one. Different genres of
music have been shown to influence plant growth differently. In this paper, the effects of two
different music genres on the growth of plant as observed by the researchers have been reported.
They will compare the effects of both genres, and then, they will determine which genre is better
for the development of the plant. A pilot study was conducted by the researchers to observe the
Radish plant’s response to Classical and Rock Music. It could be commented that the music
encouraged the growth of the plants and this is observable in terms of increased height, weight
and overall. Upon conducting the said experiment, the researchers found out that Classical music
boosts the heights of the plants greatly compared to rock music. Moreover, to make sure that
classical music really affects the growth of the plants, the researchers compared the plants
exposed to classical music to the plants that were not exposed to any form of music(control group)
and found out that there is a difference and the developments of the plants exposed to classical
music are greater compared to the plants that were not exposed to any form of music.
Keywords: Germination, Classical Music, Rock Music, Vibrations, Plants, Radish plant

INTRODUCTION
Music is a structure of artwork combining vocal or instrumental sounds which create a
composition. It is additionally a collection of a coordinated sound or sounds. Sound is described as
a type of mechanical disturbance to a state of equilibrium that generates through a medium
(R.Berg, 2020). Furthermore, there are two common types of waves, transverse and longitudinal,
which only differ in the way they are propagated. According to noisyplanet.nidcd.nih.gov (2019),
sound intensity(also known as sound pressure or power) is measured in units labelled as
decibels(dB). On the other hand, frequency of the sound refers to the number of wavelengths
passing per second and is measure in hertz or kilohertz (R. Berg, 2020).
Music can help people think better, evaluate matters more easily and work greater
effectively. There are various benefits in music, although some studies are needed to affirm the
advantages of music, various studies have proven that listening to music may have the following
beneficial and positive effects on well-being. It enhances mood, reduces stress, decreases anxiety,
improves fitness, improves memory, alleviates pain, offers comfort, and etc. In addition, making
music is the process of placing sounds and tones in an order, often combining them to create
unified composition, and also a track is made up of sounds, vibrations, and moments of silence,
and it does not always have to be nice or beautiful. It can be used to express a variety of
experiences, situations, and feelings (K. Cherry, 2019).
Furthermore, there are different genres of music, some of its type includes, classical and
rock music. Classical music was recognized in 1750-1820 era. It is played seriously and
expressively with the used of instruments. Classical music’s daily pleasure does not require the
listener to strain their brain with such fine differences, but to realize that classical music helps the
2
listener to relax their mind (Dr. J. Wildridge, 2019). On the other hand, rock was formed in America
in the later of the 1950s, a time in England and the United States in the 1960s where “rock and
roll” formed into different forms. The electric guitar drums sound will be the first thing that comes
“rock” is spoken, this sound is primarily related to this particular genre. Then the rock genre is
followed by the guitar, electric organs and other electrical instruments (Rock and Classica l Music,
2019).
Music has an intense impact on us, it has a clear influence for our mood and welfare, and
as years passed researchers have recorded the same effect of music on the plants as well. Plants
are defined as multicellular organisms that uses photosynthesis to produced their own food. There
are various species of plants over 300, 000, some of these includes grass, trees, and shrubs.
Plant’s role in the environment is crucial as they are one of main producers of oxygen in the world
and also play a vital role in the food chain as they are the main source of food of other animals
(biologydictionary.net, 2017). Each plant has specific seed-starting equirements, helping to start
small by growing only a few varieties (D. Grist, 2020).
There is a lot of information available about how to better care for plants, such as the
germination of seeds, and the importance of soil and water in plants. Many seeds germinate under
a wide range of conditions; time, temperature, water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, light, coating, soil
conditions, and hormones. Others are quite specific to their demands. In most cases, the seed can
be identified if it is viable to germinate. Good seeds will sink to the bottom of the water container,
and any seeds that float may not be viable. (Mike McGroarty, 2015).
3

Right after the seed germination,
for a healthy plant growth and development, vital nutrients such as water and air are given by the
soil. But each soil plot has its mixture of minerals, natural and non-natural matter, which primarily
determines the effective cultivation of crops, bush or sapling. Ideal soil can be grown on enclosed
plots such as plant beds or gardeners for specific crops. But the feature of the soil to be used for
greater land and lawns allows to be considered (Ruth Barton, 2013). Sandy soil is ideal for growing
root crops. It can provide the right nutrients and texture that vegetables would need. If it is
applied to sandy soil, fertilizer helps drainage (Barbara Fahs, 2017).
The type of water used in plants is one of the last things to keep in mind. However, it is
important to know what kind of water will use, as some are better than others, and some may
actually be harmful on plants. Tap or water sources is intended for individuals. For humans, though
not generally for plants, chemical and mineral additives such as fluorides, salts and chlorine are
advantageous, while many plants will thrive on just plain tap water. Let the water out for 24 hours
before use, which will kill off some of the harmful chemicals, to make tap water safer for the
plants. For watering plants, rain water is an excellent alternative. As well as individual garden and
potted plants. The Water Quality Association says, along with rain water, that purified water is best
for plants because it does not contain harmful minerals or chemicals. Often, deionized or reverse
osmosis waters do not contain toxic minerals or chemicals, they are often some of the most
valuable forms of plant water. Hardened water or mineral-rich water is also softened with sodium
carbonate. For plants, the excess sodium concentration in soft water is not healthy. The water will
potentially slow the growth of the plant. Generally speaking, the farmers or gardeners should not
be worried about what sort of water will use on their plants, it is important to be equally worried
4

about how they will water their plants.
Plants can never overwater, and in order for the roots not to rot out, plants should be in well-
draining soil. Furthermore, in general, between watering, plants should not be allowed to dry
completely. However, each plant is different, be aware about the irrigation, fertilization and light
needs of the particular plant (M. Lewis,2020).
Plants are also sensitive and many people has claimed that they feel like humans too.
Playing music for plants may seem odd, but evidence shows some genres of music is helping to
improve plant growth. Growth drivers on plants tends to raise caused by sound wave vibrations.
Additionally, vibrations do not only have an effect on development; nature may have given plants
the ability to “hear” so they can be alerted about predators. It is unclear what exactly causes the
effect music has on plants. It is thought that plants have “mechanoreceptors” which responds to
the pressure. Sound waves are composed of compressed-air molecules. Human have
mechanoreceptors that can detect and discern sound waves as each wave strikes the inner ear in
the form of pressure. If the plants have the same receptors, they can also response to changes in
soundwave, similar to those from music. (A. R. Chowdhury and A. Gupta, 2015).
According to, M. Dyer (2019), vibrations create movement in plant cells, which encourages
the plant to produce more nutrients, however, high-frequency and high-decibel sound kills the cells
(J. Jung, 2018). According to Plant Physiology Journal, 2018, the researchers, Bochu et al., in 1998
said, "High frequency and intensity of sound can cause cell damage, but at a proper frequency and
strength it can promote the growth of plant cells.", frequency is pitch while intensity is loudness,
therefore, the higher the pitch and loudness can cause cell damage. Plants tend to listen to each
other's vibrations, too. Plants close to other plants tend to grow faster and healthier than those
5
grown in solitary confinement. Research suggests that plants can "speak" to each other through
vibrations, and these communications let a plant know when growth is healthy. Other research
suggests that stimulus from sounds like music will turn on and off genes, suggesting that plants
will "listen" to their environment to know when to express those genes. If scientists are able to
gain a better understanding of this phenomenon, sounds such as music could likely be used to
promote growth (Meg Michelle, 2018).
According to Luther Burbank, an American botanist and horticulturist, 2019, He studied
about how vegetation react when they are eliminated from their natural habitats and he talks to his
plants. Based on his horticultural experiments, he attributed approximately 20 sensory perceptions
to plants. His research were inspired by using the works of Charles Darwin's The Variation of
Animals and Plants underneath Domestication, that is published in 1868. The first experiment of
tune on plants was carried out via Dr. T. C Singh in 1962. Dr. T.C Singh located out that plants
have sensory perceptions and they react through sound waves and vibrations when the flora are
uncovered to track that comes from recorders. Dr. T.C Singh repeated his test however only with
the exception of ragas performed on flute, violin, veena and harmonium. Luckily, the flora did no
longer flip him down. Plants replied with bounty growth. After clearing through these profitable
experiments, Dr. T.C Singh testified that even the classical tune will propel plant growth (S.
Panchadhyayi, 2015).
The goal of the researchers in this study is to determine the effects of different music
genres on plant development. They will compare the effects of both genres, and then, they will
determine which genre is better for the development of the plant. The result will contribute to
6
garden ownder, plant owners, and even farmer in raising and taking care of their plants. This study
will also contribute to future researchers to be their reference if their study is related to this topic.
Research Objective
To determine how two different genres will affect the growth of plants.
Scope and Delimitation
This study focused on the effectiveness of two genres of music; the classical music and
rock music on the growth of plants and how it affects the development of the plant. This study
determined which type of music genres, really affects the plant growth and if ever there are any
effects on a plant’s number of leaves, and weight of the plant. This study helped us determine
which genre of music is effective in boosting the growth and development of the plant.
Furthermore, the researcher used a control group to determine if music has an effect to plant
growth.
Hypothesis
Null hypothesis (Ho)
 There is no significant difference between the means of the 3 groups(Classical, Rock, and
Control).
 Ho : f < Fcrit value
 Ho : μ1= μ2= μ3
7
Alternative hypothesis (Ha)
 There is a significant difference between the means of the 3 groups(Classical, Rock, and
Control).
 Ha : f > Fcrit
 H a : μ 1 ≠ μ2 ≠ μ3
Significance of the Study
The purpose of this study is to know the effectiveness of music on plant growth. It will
provide another option of plant growth booster. This study will promote Classical Music as an
alternative option for the growth of the plants other than chemicals.
As for the Farmers, this study will give them another way of effective farming with the use of
music which will help the growth of their crops.
As for Garden Owners, study will give another effective way for the growth of the plants on
their garden than using other chemicals that might pose harm to their health.
As for Plant Seller, this study will give another effective way of promoting the growth of
the plants which is through classical music.
As for Plant Collector, this study will provide another option for the promotion of plant
growth.
8

As for Agricultural
Students, this study will provide knowledge regarding to the use of Classical music as an
alternative for the promotion of plant growth to the agriculture students.
As for the Department of Agriculture(DOA), this study will provide DOA an alternative
variable(Classical Music) that promotes the growth of the plants that is safe to both human and
environment.
As for the Future Researchers, this study will show the findings that can be used as a
reference for those who would choose to conduct a research about the effectiveness of music to
the plant’s growth.
Those who will benefit from this study are the farmers, garden owners, and future
researchers in understanding the effectiveness of music to the plant growth.

POSITIVE EFFECT NEGATIVE EFFECT
The figure above illustrates the connection of the study’s main variables. It can be seen
classical music and rock music are both place above the plant growth, which the arrow indicates
that there is a relationship and/or connection on the variables. Classical music greatly emphasized
homophonic melodies, meaning that there was a single melody that all the instruments played. It is
light, almost airy (F. Lonescu, 2019). While rock music was formed in America in the later of the
1950s, a time in England and the United States in the 1960s where “rock and roll” formed into
different forms. The electric guitar drums sound will be the first thing that comes “rock” is spoken,
this sound is primarily related to this particular genre. Then the rock genre is followed by the
guitar, electric organs and other electrical instruments (Rock and Classical Music, 2019). According
10

to, M. Dyer (2019), vibrations create
movement in plant cells, which encourages the plant to produce more
nutrients. Plants are sensitive and many people has claimed that they feel like humans too. Playing
music for plants may seem odd, but evidence shows some genres of music is helping to improve
plant growth. Growth drivers on plants tends to raise caused by sound wave vibrations (A. R.
Chowdhury and A. Gupta, 2015). The growth of the plant has a connection with classical music
and rock music, where these two different music genres shows to be the reason of the cause to a
positive and negative effects of the plant growth.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
A quantitative design was utilized in this study since it specifically focused on gathering
numerical data. According to O. Apuke (2017), a quantitative research design come to terms with
the analyzation of the variables as well as quantifying it so that the researchers will get results. In
addition, it uses a specific statistical treatment for the utilization and understanding of numerical
data. The researcher used experimental method in this study, particularly, a True Experimental
method. The essence of this method is, it involves manipulating a variable to determine if changes
in one variable cause changes in another variable (E. Babbie, 2010). In true experiments, the
researchers adjusted or manipulate the variable that is expected to influence the dependent
variable that is being examined. The independent variable is considered the variable that the
researcher has power over. The outcome or effect of the study is referred to as the dependent
variable. The dependent variable is often referred to as the outcome variable because it is the
outcome of the study. The researcher cannot control the dependent variable (O. Mitchelle, 2015).
Respondents
The researchers only tested the effects of different genres of music on plant growth, Thus,
the researcher used Radish plant as their subject for their experiment.
12
EXPERIMENTAL PROCESS
In comparing the effects of the different music genres on plant growth the materials and
instruments used are: Pots, Organic Soil, Tap Water, Radish Seeds, Speaker, Flash drive, Ruler,
Weighing Scale.
1.) Germination
1.1 The researchers germinated the radish seeds on tissue paper.
1.2 They monitored the progress of the seeds in 4-6 days.
1.3 After the germination, the seedlings were transferred in a different small cups with same
amount of organic soil.
2.) Seedlings tranferring in small cups
2.1 The researchers monitored the height of the seedlings in small cups.
2.2 They monitored the plants until their heights are 1-2 inches.
3.) Seedlings transferring in pots
3.1 The researchers transferred the seedlings in different big pots with same amount of organic soil
3.2 The researchers divided the seedlings in three groups, the classical, rock and control groups.
3.3 The three groups has five seedlings each.
4.) Music exposure on plants

13
4.1 The five seedlings were exposed to classical music, while the other five seedlings were exposed
to rock music. Both groups were exposed to music for 2 hours, thrice a week for 4 weeks.
4.2 The researcher also monitored five seedlings that were not exposed to any form of music, or
known as control group.
5.) Note-taking
5.1 The researchers monitored the height of each plants in three groups.
5.2 They recorded the progress of each plants on a paper once a week.
6.) Final measurements (weight and height)
6.1 After a month, the researcher weighs each of plants in three groups.
6.2 They also measured the final height of each plants.
6.3 After the researcher gathered the data, they compared the plants on each groups using their
statistical tools.
6.4 Lastly, after the analysis, they determined if there is a difference of the growth of the plants.
14
Research Instruments
The researchers used a Speaker and a Flash drive to expose the plants to music with a
specific genre. Furthermore, the researchers used five radish plants each that will be exposed to
each genre (classical and rock music), and five radish plants as a control group. The researchers
also used a ruler to measure the height of each plants once a week. They also used weighing scale
to measure the weight of the plants at the last day of observation.
Data Collection
The data was gathered with the use of observation and note-taking methods. The researchers
used the instruments to the subjects to measure the growth of each plants. After the experiment,
the researchers gathered the acquired data and correlate them. This represented the effects of
different music genres of the plant growth.
Ethical Considerations
The researchers only observed the effectiveness of two music genres in the plant growth,
no person or no animals was harmed or tested by the researcher in this study.

15

Data Analysis
To determine the correlation between music genres and plants growth, the researchers
used three Statistical techniques: (1) Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), specifically, One- way ANOVA,
to determine whether there are any statistically significant differences between the means of three
or more independent (unrelated) groups (W. Kelton, 2019). (2) Dunnett’s Test (also called
Dunnett’s Method or Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison), to compare means from several experimental
groups against a control group mean to see is there is a difference (S. Glen, 2017). (3) Line Graph
to show data that continuously change over time (C. Halton, 2019). The researchers input the
gathered data from the experiment to Microsoft Excel to get the results. Finally, they confirmed
the hypothesis and showed the results in specific table.

16

RESULTS
This part of the paper presents results, analysis, discussion obtained from the research's data
gathering. It is divided into three parts: The comparison of the means of height and weight of
plants using One-way ANOVA, Dunnet's Test, and Line Graphs that are used to track the plants'
height.
1. The comparison of the means of height and weight of plants using One-way ANOVA
1.1 The height of the plants
Table 1
The height of the plants
The table 1 presents the height of each group. All of the groups are having 5 number of
counts. The classical group has a sum of 28.8 and an average of 5.76 which results to 0.513 of
variance. Next is the rock group with a sum of 14 which has an average of 2.8 and a variance of
6.7. Lastly, the

17
control group with a sum of 13.8 and an average of 2.76 with a variance of 2.513. The Between
group consist of 29.6053333 on Sum of squares (SS), 2 for the Degrees of Freedom (df) with a
14.8026667 for the Mean Square (MS) which has a 4.56590582 for F, a 0.03353259 for the P-
value, and the F-crit consists of 3.88529383. The Within group has a 38.904 for the SS, which has
a df of 12, and a 3.242 for MS. Which results to the total of 68,5093333 for the SS and !4 for df.
Conclusion: if F > F crit, we reject the null hypothesis. This is the case, 4.565 > 3.885
Therefore, the researcher rejected the null hypothesis. The means of the three groups are not
equal. At least one of the option is clearly different. To conclude, the means of Classical group is
clearly different from Rock and Control group.

18
1.2 The weight of the plants
Table 2
The weight of the plants
The table 2 presents the mean(average) and variance of each group. The mean(average),
Sum(1.07) divided by count(5), of the Classical group is 0.214 and its variance is 0.00728. Next in
line is Rock group has with a mean(average), Sum(0.46) divided by Count(5), of 0.092 and its
variance is 0.00892. Third is Control group with a mean(average), Sum(0.11) divided by Count(5),
of 0.022 and its variance is 0.00112. Under the ANOVA table, between group has 0.09441333 Sum
of squares(SS) and its Degrees of freedom(df) is 2 with a 0.04720667 Mean square(MS),
8.17667436 F, 0.00574727 P-value, and its F-crit values 3.88529383. Lastly, Within group has
0.06928 Sum of squares and its Degrees of freedom is 12 which has a value of 0.00577333 for its
Mean square. Finally, the total Sum of Squares(SS) is 0.16369333 and the total Degrees of
freedom is 14.
19
Conclusion: if F > F crit, the reseachers will reject the null hypothesis. In this case, 8.176 >
3.885. Therefore, the researcher rejected the null hypothesis. The means of the three groups are
not equal. At least one of the option is clearly different. To conclude, the Classical group is clearly
different from Rock and Control group.

The Graph 2 presents the Heights of the Plant B of each group over time. The height of Plant B
from the Classical group is being represented by the Blue line. The Plant B from Rock group
represented by the Orange line. Finally, Plant B from the Control group being represented by the
gray line. The graph above presents the progress of each plant B from each group. For the
Classical group, the blue line shows that the progress of the height of the plant is greater compare
to the two as it grows to 3 inches at the first week after exposure to classical music then gaining 1
inch the second week then another 0.5 inches the third week and finally gaining 1.5 inches at the
last week. All in all, its final height is 6 inches. On the other hand, plant B from the rock group
grew 3 inches at the first week after exposure to rock music, then gaining 1 inch on the second
25

week, then did not gain any inches at
the third week and finally gaining 1 inch at last week. All in all, it measures 5 inches tall(1
inch below compare to the plant B from the classical group). As for the control group, it measures
2.5 inches at the first week and gaining 0.4 inches at the second week then another 0.2 inches at
the third week and finally gaining another 0.2 inches at the final week. All in all, its final height is
3.3 inches, which is 1.7 inches below compared to the plant B from the rock group and 2.7 inches
below compared to the plant B from classical group.
In general, Plant B from the Classical group is the tallest measuring 6 inches, followed by
Plant B from Rock group measuring 5 inches. On the other hand, Plant B from the Control group is
the shortest measuring 3.3 inches tall. Since the Plant B from the Classical group is the tallest,
therefore Classical music really boosts the plant's growth compare to Rock music.

C from the Classical group is being represented by the Blue line. The Plant C from Rock group
represented by the Orange line. Finally, Plant C from the Control group being represented by the
gray line. The graph above presents the progress of each plant C from each group. For the
Classical group, the blue line shows that the progress of the height of the plant is greater compare
to the two as it grows to 5 inches at the first week after exposure to classical music then gaining
0.5 inches the second week then another 0.5 inches the third week and finally gaining 0.3 inches
at the last week. All in all, its final height is 6.3 inches. On the other hand, plant B from the rock
27

group grew 2 inches at the first week after
exposure to rock music, then gaining 0.5 inches on the second week, the another 0.5 inches at the
third week but dies at last week. As for the control group, it measures 3 inches at the first week
then it did not grew and remains 3 inches tall in the second and third week
but gaining 0.5 inches at the final week. All in all, its final height is 3.5 inches, which is 2.8 inches
below compared to the plant C from classical group. In general, plant C from classical group is
taller, measuring 6.3 inches tall, compared to the groups.
Plant C from the Classical group is the tallest measuring 6.3 inches tall followed by the Plant C
from the Control group with the height if 3.5 inches. However, for the Plant C of the Rock group, it
did not survived and died. Since the Plant B from the Classical group is the tallest, therefore
Classical music really boosts the plant's growth compare to Rock music.

The graph 4 shows the progress of the Heights of the Plant D of each group over time. For the
Classical Music, the blue linear shows that there is a great progress on the Plant D as it grew
rapidly. It started off at 3 inches tall then gaining 1 inch growth for two weeks, and then another 1
inch for the final week of the experiment. For the Control group, the gray linear it started off at 2.5
inches tall, and remains 2.5 inches on the two weeks but, gains .5 inch for the final week. For the
Rock Music, the orange linear, it started off at 3 inches, gains .5 on the next two weeks but, died
after one week.
The Plant D from the Classical group is the tallest measuring 5 inches, followed by Plant D
from Control group measuring 3 inches. On the other hand, Plant D from the Rock group has no
29

measurement since it died. Since the
Plant D from the Classical group is the tallest, therefore Classical music really boosts the plant's
growth compare to Rock music.

The graph 5 shows the progress of the Heights of the Plant E of each group over time. For the
both of Classical Music and Rock Music, the blue and orange linear, both started off at 3 inches tall
then gaining .5 inch growth for the next week, then another .5 inch for the next week, and both
gained 1 inch for the last week of the experiment,. For the Control group, the gray linear it started
off at 3 inches tall but, remains 3 inches on the two weeks and it died after one week.
Plant E presents the Heights of Plant E of each group over time. Plant E from the Classical
group and Rock group has the same size of their height measuring 5 inches tall. However, for the
Plant E of the Control group, it has no measurement since it did not survived and died. The heights
of the Plant E from both Classical and Rock group have the same height by chance. However, this
30

does not guarantee that the rock music
has the same effect as the classical music since it does not happen on the previous plants.
DISCUSSION
In this part, the results of the study are presented and discussed with reference to the aim of
the study which was to determine how two different genres will affect the growth of plants. This
section relays the conclusions and recommendations of the researchers based on the gathered
data.
Conclusions
The use of different chemicals has been used almost everywhere to boost plant development.
These chemicals can sometimes be harmful to humans and also for the environment. This study
aims to show that music can be a substitute or replacement for the chemicals. This study describes
the good and bad effects of music on plant development.
The use of chemicals that are being used for plant development boosters can be expensive
and may kill or damage the plant. While the use of music as a booster can be quite expensive also
but it doesn't cause damage to the plant. The use of chemicals requires a lot of work. The use of
music promotes lesser work because all they need to do is to set it up.
The researchers aim to promote classical music that can also be used for boosting plant
development. Not only for the plants and plant owners but also for aspiring musical artists would
benefit.
31
Recommendations
In light with the over-all findings of the study, it is recommended that:
 Plant owner who uses chemicals to boost their plant's growth must be aware for the
possible harm it may cause to them and the environment. The researchers are
suggesting that classical music can replaced harmful chemicals and also acts as a
variable for plant development.The use of classical music can make them and the
environment safe. The classical music will not only the plants would benefit but also
the plant owners. It can help them be relaxed because of the sounds that the music
produces.
 When the plant owners experience death of plants caused by the chemicals they use,
the researchers suggest the use of music. Not only less chance of damage to plants
but also requires less work. Plant owners wouldn't need to travel to buy the products
and manually give them to the plants. Using music will only need them to prepare it
properly so that it can last for a long time.
 The researchers would recommend inventors to create a devices/sound
sytems/speaker that can be used for boosting plant development. By this, plant
owners will be able to use music effectively for plant development and also for them
to enjoy it. The researchers also encourage aspiring musical artists to create more
32

classical music. By this,
there will be more selections for plant owners and preserving it as well.

Ma’am/Sir:
Greetings!
We are Grade 12 students of Dominican College of Tarlac taking up Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics strand and are presently conducting a study entitled, “COMPARING
THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT MUSIC GENRES ON PLANT GROWTH“. In line with this we would like
to humbly ask your expertise and time to validate the attached dunnett’s test computation for our
study. Thank you and God bless!
Warm Regards,
Badajos, Noah S.

The ANOVA Procedure in Microsoft Excel
STEP 1.
H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3
H1: at least one of the means is different.
The height of plants (in inches)

43
The weight of plants (in inches)
STEP 2. In Microsoft Excel, on the Data tab, in the Analysis group, click Data Analysis.
44
STEP 3. Select Anova: Single Factor and click OK.
STEP 4. Click in the Input Range box and select the range A1:C6, And click in the Output Range
box and select cell E1. And click OK.
$A$1:$C$6
$E$1

STEP 5. Result
Conclusion: if F > F crit, we reject the null hypothesis. This is the case, 4.565 > 3.885 Therefore, the
researcher rejected the null hypothesis. The means of the three groups are not equal. At least one of the
option is clearly different. To conclude, the means of Classical group is clearly different from Rock and
Control group.
Conclusion: if F > F crit, the reseachers will reject the null hypothesis. In this case, 8.176 > 3.885.
Therefore, the researcher rejected the null hypothesis. The means of the three groups are not equal. At least
one of the option is clearly different. To conclude, the Classical group is clearly different from Rock and
Control group.

The Dunnett’s Test Procedure by hand (HEIGHT)
Step 1. Look up the tDunnett critical value in the Dunnett-critical value table. You’ll need:
 Your chosen alpha level (usually .05),

 Sample size, n,
 Degrees of freedom from the ANOVA “Within Groups” output.
(a )  .05
( n)  3 2( MSS / A)
df  12 Formula :
