Analyzing Different Species on Agar plates Nov 28 2024 Roles of group members Member A: Calculated p-value and ANOVA for our Agar plate result Member B: Identify and count different types of species in each ager plates using Member C: Assisted on counting species on agar plates by recording our results Member D: Assisted on counting species on agar plates by recording our results Notes on Unusual Data There were no colonies found in the control. There was no unusual data in this analysis. Data of Ager species count Table 1. Is the number of different species found by varying samples. Each column, spanning from Sample 1 to Control represents the types of samples. While the rows represent the trials taken from each sample. Data Analysis Table 2. Summary of P-test and ANOVA for data from sample ager plate. The p-value and ANOVA value both indicates that data retrieved from this experiment is not random but is valid. Table 2. t-Test has been done to identify significance between two different samples. Total of 6 t-Test has been done which were between Sample 1-Sample 2, Sample 1-Sample 3, Sample 2-Sample 3,Sample 1-Control, Sample 2-Control, Sample 3-Control. Here however, the significance between Sample 1-Sample 2, and Sample 3-Control was less significant compared to other t-Test results. Notes on Result The samples collected near the water source had shown higher variety in species. According to our data, sample 1 had shown the most types of species in agar plate,while sample 2 has shown an intermediate level of diversity in species. However, sample 3 had shown very minimal types of species in the agar plate. Figure 1. Aligned agar plates. Starting from the bottom, Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3, and Control(at the top). Each sample sets are consumed of 3 separate agar plates
