mobelle Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hey! I am doing a biology lab on the difference between the sunny-sided leaves and shaded sided leaves of a tree.And I am a bit confused when it comes to this whole null hypothesis and the statistical tests, are they necessary for thiskind of lab? and if so, how should I state the null hypothesis?

El Che Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 As you have said "difference" between the sunny-sided leaves and the shady-sided leaves, you will definitely need a null hypothesis and some calculations. You can state your null hypothesis like, there is no significant difference between data sets.Btw, what kind of a difference are you looking for between them? (just curious) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobelle Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Things we can see and measure, like length and width, colour and such Plant science is not really my favorite topic haha Thanks for the help though! Do I need any "because" in the null hypothesis? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Che Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I think you don't need any "because" in the null hypothesis. The "because" thing applies to other labs and as this one is concerned with statistics it doesn't. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
