The p-value for the test signifies that there is no statistical significance. ‎Experiment 2 In the human study, all tests and results exhibit a high level of confidence. The post-hoc t-tests showed that all values held statistical significance. Analysis Experiment 1 - Lipopolysaccharide Pills on Rats A T-Test was run on the experiment with rats because only two groups were compared: the group which took a 0mg pill and the group which took a 10mg pill. The p-value for this test was greater than 0.05, so there is no statistical significance. Experiment 2 - Lipopolysaccharide Pills on Humans A one-way ANOVA was selected for this test because there were multiple groups between 0mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 15mg pills. All of the tests run had statistical significance, determined by the post-hoc tests run on the ANOVA. All of the p-values were far lower than the necessary value, so between each test, there is significance. Summary/Discussion In the experiment, it is clear that a dosage of lipopolysaccharide has a significant effect on levels of inflammotin in the elderly. There is no statistical significance in the study with the rats, and the p-value for the test is far exceeding 0.05. However, in the human study, all tests had significance. Since the effect is only seen in humans, it is possible that lipopolysaccharide does not increase levels of inflammotin in rats.
