Question 1

What is the sample mean

Answer 1

An estimate of the population mean (the value you would obtain if you included every organism of the species on the planet)

Question 2

What is the t-test

Answer 2

Stastically test that allows us to determine whether two means are significantly different

Question 3

What does a larger A-value indicate

Answer 3

It is more likely that the difference between the 2 means is stastically significant

Question 4

What does it mean if the t-value is less then the corresponding p-value

Answer 4

The data from out Experiment failed to show any evidence that there is difference between groups, stastically significant does not necessarily mean biologically significant
