Document Summary
Obligate parasite: requires a host to complete a part of their life cycle. 100ml blood sample, we take 5 aliquots, 20ml each for testing. Continuous data: data taken from a continuum with fractional increments. When graphed these are joined by a line. Discrete data: data taken on integer values, where no intermediate values are possible. F-test in anova: is a simple variance ratio where the mean square value between treatments is divided by the mean square value within treatments. Germination: the start of growth of a seed or spore that has been dormant. Hypothesis: a tentative explanation about measured/observed phenomena in nature. Null hypothesis (h0): hypothesis of no difference or no change or no effect. Assumes in the experiment that the manipulated treatment (iv) has no effect on the variable measured. Alternate hypothesis (ha): hypothesis showing a difference or change or effect. Indicates in an experiment, the manipulated treatment had some kind of effect on the measured variable (dv)
