Title: Analyzing Class Data: Beets/Membranes Experiment and Tetrahymena/Biofuels Experiment

For question 1… you will create two Figures and Draw Conclusions from the class data for the beets/membranes experiment. you will upload a PDF that contains the two graphs, figure legend, and conclusions. ( class data is in the attachment) In question 2… you will use class data from Tetrahymena and Biofuels to practice inferential stats. Refer to the tutorial in Lab 4. ( class data is attached)
1a. What is the null hypothesis for the Tetrahymena experiment? (1 mark)
1b. List the p-value obtained from the t-test comparing the smoke treated cells to the control cells. (1 mark)
1c. What conclusion can you draw from this p-value in terms of the effect of smoke on phagocytosis? (1 mark)
2a. List the three p-values from t-tests for (control compared to sugarcane) (control compared to corn) (sugar cane compared to corn). (1 mark)
2b. Was there a significant difference in the rate of fermentation between corn and sugarcane? Explain how you determined if the rates were significantly different or not (2 marks)
