Observations and Results

Table One: T-Test showing the Distribution of Meiofauna between Tobacco and Whalebone Bay
T-Test and F-Test where performed to determine variances among the different species meiofauna at Tobacco Bay and Whalebone Bay.  Through, the different T-test performed confirms that Polychetes are the only species of Meiofauna that is variable from one Bay to the next because of it's P two tail value of 3.46222E-05.  Flatworms also showed a slight variance between the two bays with a P two tail value of  0.051379415.
