Since there was a significant spread, the mean may not give an appropriate representation of the results obtained however, a large spread indicates that the

    Pennsylvania and were analyzed for test and control group members. The differences in alcohol dependence(AD) test versus non-alcohol dependence(non-AD) control group means in total(combined), right , and left hippocampal mean volumes, respectively were compared and assessed for statistically significant differences using the t-test of the means for samples with different variances. The significance level was set to 95 percent, making any difference with a p-value lesser than 0.05 statistically insignificant

    Introduction: Within field studies, the best way to understand the workings of the endocrine system usually involves injecting a specimen with a hormone or removing the gonads of the specimen to observe changes in hormone concentrations (Mazur, Booth, & Dabbs, 1992). However with human subjects this kind of procedure proves to be rather unethical, and therefore researchers have found that the best way to observe a particular hormone, such as testosterone, is to observe what occurs when an individual

    There was a significant difference in the mean number of Eastern grey squirrels in the area where the predator noise was played, with a greater number squirrels in the areas when there was no threat of predation (Table 1) (p=0.006). During the absence of a predator and presence of a predator, there was no statistically significant difference in the number of squirrels that fed from the plate (Table 1) (p= 0.118) or peanuts taken (Table 1) (p= 0.085). Table 1. Mean (+ StdDev) squirrels in area, feeding

    Theory Electric force can be defined as an attraction or repulsion between two particles that is directly related to the charge of the two particles. So when a different voltage is applied to two metal plates the opposite charges that are applied produce an attraction. To be able to figure out the magnitude of the field on these plates one must know the charges, surface area, and the vacuum dielectric constant. With knowing the value of the electric field one can then calculate the value of the
