Goals:

• Analyze our groups collective data
• Present our data in graph form in class

Procedure: 

1. Present our data for the class, explaining how we analyzed our data and why we chose which graph method we used for presenting our data.
2. Open excel and create data points so that we could use to learn how to effectively find things such as: standard deviation, mean, median, mode, how to create a histogram, and how to perform an F-test and a T-test.

Observations: 

• Answering questions on the setup of our graph helped to clarify any questions we had about whether or not we were representing the data correctly. We also learned that it is better if our counts our converted to per 1 mL instead of per 2 micro-liters.

Conclusion: 

• The skills we learned using excel will help us to better analyze our data and it will also help us have a better understanding of the meaning behind the numbers we are given; how they would relate to the Tetrahymena.

Future Ideas: 

• Any questions about how to properly execute what we learned are answered on Canvas.
