1. INTRODUCTION TO BACTERIAL DIVERSITY EXPERIMENT For this assignment you will be working with a simple set of example data. In this experiment you and your lab group have sampled bacterial abundance from various locations around campus. You have a total of 100 agar plates for bacterial growth so you split them into sets of 50, enough for two treatments to compare. Your group decides to compare the bacterial abundance of door handles exiting classrooms to the door handles exiting restrooms, you sample 50 different handles of each kind. You propose that the bacterial abundance of bathrooms will be higher due to the restroom having a higher potential for urine and fecal contamination. A. What is the hypothesis you are testing in this experiment
