Question

Ok so I did an experiment focused on intraspecific vs interspecific competition. For each of the five species (peas, broccoli, peppers, spinach, and corn), I planted them in pots individually (Group A) and then did it where two species were in one pot (Group B). I utilized eight seeds for each species for the both groups. Construct two tables from the data below as well as perform a chi-squared test to analyze if there truly is a difference?

Planted Individually (Group A):

Broccoli (6/8)

Spinach (2/8)

Peas (0/8)

Peppers (2/8)

Corn (0/8)

Planted Together (Group B):

Broccoli and spinach (4/8 spinach and 6/8 broccoli)

Peppers and Peas (3/8 peas and 0/8 peppers)

Spinach and Peas (6/8 spinach and 4/8 peas)

Broccoli and peppers (3/8 broccoli and 2/8 peppers)

Corn and Peas (3/8 peas and 0/8 corn)

Answer 1

= 16, degree of freedom = 4 and  p<0.05 , for group A the hypothesis is rejected
= 0.55, degree of freedom = 4 and p<0.05, for group B the hypothesis is accepted
