What is the would be the null and alternative hypothesis for the following seed germination findings. The research question is based on ffects of salinity on seed germination is an understanding of the optimal environment for crop growth.
Salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 0.75%
salt concentration 0.00% |
salt concentration 0.75 |
|
Mean |
78.00 |
74.00 |
Standard Deviation |
14.83 |
18.17 |
P value = 0.7128 |
Based on the significance value (P value) I can accept the Null Hypothesis.
Salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 1.50%
salt concentration 0.00% |
salt concentration 1.50% |
|
Mean |
78.00 |
40.00 |
Standard Deviation |
14.83 |
25.50 |
P value = 0.0205 |
Based on the significance value (P value) I can reject the Null Hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.
Salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 2.00%
salt concentration 0.00% |
salt concentration 2.00% |
|
Mean |
78.00 |
40.00 |
Standard Deviation |
14.83 |
25.50 |
P value = 0.0001 |
Based on the significance value (P value) I can reject the Null Hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.
Solution-A:
null hypothesis:
mean salt concentrations of 0% and 0.75% are equal
Alternative hypothesis:
mean salt concentrations of 0% and 0.75% are different
p=0.7128
Based on the significance value (P value) I can accept the Null Hypothesis.
that is mean salt concentrations of 0% and 0.75% are equal
Solution-b:
null hypothesis:
mean salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 1.50% are equal
Alternative hypothesis:
mean salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 1.50% are different
p=0.0205
p<0.05
Reject Ho
Accept Ha
mean salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 1.50% are different
Solution-c:
Ho:mean Salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 2.00% are equal
Ha:mean Salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 2.00% are different
p=0.0001
p<0.05
Reject Ho Accept Ha
mean Salt concentration 0.00% and Salt concentration 2.00% are different
Conclusion:
There is sufficient statistical evidence at 5% level of significance to conclude that salt salinity affects seed germination
