The study Loss of Nitrogen Through Sweat by Preadolescent Boys Consuming Three Levels of Dietary Protein was conducted by the Department of Human Nutrition and Foods at Virginia Tech to determine perspiration nitrogen loss at various dietary protein levels. Twelve preadolescent boys ranging in age from 7 years, 8 months to 9 years, 8 months, all judged to be clinically healthy, were used in the experiment. Each boy was subjected to one of three controlled diets in which 29, 54, or 84 grams of protein were consumed per day. The following data represent the body perspiration nitrogen loss, in milligrams, during the last two days of the experimental period:

(a) Perform an analysis of variance at the 0.05 level of significance to show that the mean perspiration nitrogen losses at the three protein levels are different.
(b) Use Tukey’s test to determine which protein levels are significantly different from each other in mean nitrogen loss.
