Inferential Statistics
Experiment 1 (Humans)
Explanation: We chose to utilize an ANOVA for this data set, because there were more than two groups being tested.
0mg v. 5mg
T-Test: 8.60E-7
Adjusted P-Value: 8.33E-3
Significant: Yes
5mg v. 10mg
T-Test: 3.02E-5
Adjusted P-Value: 8.33E-3
Significant: Yes
10mg v. 15mg
T-Test: 6.48E-8
Adjusted P-Value: 8.33E-3

5mg v. 15mg
T-Test: 1.57E-8
Adjusted P-Value: 8.33E-3

Experiment 2 (Rats)
Explanation: We chose to utilize the unpaired T-Test, because we where looking to determine whether there was a significant statistical difference between two completely separate data sets.
P= 0.87
13% Confidence
Summary/Discussion
Human
The human experiment showed that as dosage was increased the inflammotin increased as well. However, the variability also increased as dosage increased. All trials were declared statistically significant.
Rats
Our data for rats showed very poor yields. We received a 13% confidence from our T-test, which is very bad. When experimenting we aim for 95% therefore our data was not statistically significant. Some potentially sources of error include our smaller number of subjects and our drastic change in dosages without intermediate dosages.
Overall, even though there was no clear response in rats most likely due to the smaller sample sizes and lack of intermediary dosses, the human tests displayed a significant increase in the amount of inflammotin produced.
