how should data be presented in results
in a clear, logical manner suitable for analysis. consideration should be given to the validity of outliers and anomalous results
what are statistical tests used to determine
whether the differences between the means are likely or unlikely to have occured by chance
how do you know if a result is statistically significant
if it is one that is unlikely to be due to chance alone
what do error bars indicate
the variability of data around a mean
if the treatment mean differs from the control mean sufficiently enough for their error bars not to overlap, what does this indicate
that the difference may be signficant
