Cell Biology Lab Flashcards
What is a P-100
A micropipetter
When do you reject Ho
When the P value is less than .05
What is a P value
In statistics, the P value tells you the likelihood that a random sample selected is representative of the population. The higher the P value, the higher probability that the sample is representative of the population.
If you have 250mg of ink mixed with 500mg of water, what is the RATIO of ink to water?
1:2
What is a normal distribution?
A normal distribution is a bell shaped curve that is symmetric around its mean, and is measured in units of standard deviation.
What test in R do you run if you have a normal distribution?
Shapiro test
What test in R do you run if the data is not normally distributed?
Wilcox test
What wavelength is the spectrophotometer set at in labs 1-3
600nm
What does it mean to reject Ho?
The data collected is not statistically significant to accept the null hypothesis.
How wide are the small squares in a hemocytometer?
1mm squared
What is Trypan Blue used for?
To identify dead cells
How does Trypan Blue enter the cell
