Reference no: EM131096140

A student's reaction to the instructor's statement that covariance analysis is inappropriate when the treatment regression lines do not have the same slope was as follows: "It seems to me that this is ducking a real-world problem. If the treatment slopes are different, just use a covariance model that allows for different treatment slopes." Evaluate this reaction.
