Example No.7
Enter data:
Control : 0.337, 0.302, 0.405, 0.400, 0.381, 0.398, 0.377, 0.392, 0.345, 0.409 mmol.l-1
Test : 0.341, 0.302, 0.504, 0.452, 0.309, 0.375, 0.479, 0.423, 0.311, 0.333 mmol.l-1
1) Calculation of standard deviations (SD) for samples:
Results: Control: 0.0353 mmol.l-1
Test: 0.0758 mmol.l-1
2) Calculation of F-test:
DF: n1-1=9, n2-1=9
As calculated F > Fcrit = 4.030 (DF 9,9, α=0.05) difference between variances is statistically significant.
Conclusion: As the difference between variances of control and test group is statistically significant (p<0.05), preparation influences variability of AST level in blood serum of dairycows.
