A. A turmeric extract was proposed to be used as an anti-bacterial. Thus, different
concentrations of the said extract were used to see the zone of inhibitions of two bacteria (E.
Coli & S. Aureus).

Question 1a: Is there a significant difference among zone of the inhibitions of the bacteria with
different turmeric extract concentrations? Give some implications.
In order to find out if there is a significant difference among the zone of inhibitions of
the bacteria with different turmeric extract concentrations, Anova was the most appropriate to
use. Based on the data analysis on samples with E-coli, the P-value is less than the accepted
value of 0.05, which means that the null hypothesis will be rejected, while the samples with the
S.aureus bacteria is greater than the value of 0.05, thus accepting the null hypothesis. This
