As a table:
A summary of your data and the results of your
statistical analysis may be concisely presented in
a table. This table should include the three
descriptors useful for describing any sample (i.e.,
n, mean, and standard deviation), a clear
indication of the comparistions being made, and the
results of the statistical test. For example:
Table I. Appropriately descriptive title ....
|
|
Growing with lettuce
|
Growing with Onion
|
t-value
|
Significance
(alpha=0.05)
|
|
Lettuce growth
|
|
|
2.73
|
*
|
|
Onion Growth
|
|
|
1.49
|
NS
|
Note: Lettuce growing with lettuce corresponds
to Control I; lettuce growing with onion
corresponds to Treatment I. In the hypothetical
table example, a t-test test for the difference
between these two means gave a t-value of 2.73,
which is significant (indicated by a * under the
Significance column). In this hypothetical example,
there was no statistically significant difference
between the growth rate of onion when grown alone
(Control II) versus with lettuce (Treatment II).
This is indicated in the significance column by
"NS" (for not significant).
