This indicates that, on average, Group 1 achieved higher gradesthan Group 2.Applying ANOVA to compare performance (final grade) between Group 1 and Group 2 yieldsan F-statistic value of 116.8963 and a p-value of approximately 7.411684e-13. The p-value isextremely low (much lower than any standard significance threshold, such as 0.05), indicating astatistically significant difference between the two groups' final grades.

In our case all the beams are of rectangular or square cross section. • Proper alignment of support between span length and incremental load application to minimize experimental error. • Accurate measurement of small and large deflections, especially for stiffer and flexible materials like steel and wood(s) respectively. • Addressing variability in material properties, particularly for natural materials like wood (various
other variables thatcan be freely controlled. These variabilities provide a wide range of investigation and datacollection. Important parameters that can be studied are summarized below: 1. The yaw angle represents the relative angle between the turbine axis and the flow direction. The yaw angle ranges from -50 to +50 degrees with fine increment. 2. The pitch angle represents the relative angle between the turbine blades and the flow direction. The pitch angle ranges from -5 to 40 degrees with fine increment. 3. Fan speed represents the average speed of air flow into the tunnel. The fan produces air flow from zero to about 15 m/s or 33.5 mph. This is more than sufficient to mimic realistic wind speed, particularly
