B3 Significance testing

These are statistical tests used to compare individual values or sets of values for significant differences. 

A measurement or result that appears to differ significantly from others in the same set of replicates is described as an outlier. 

The Q-test is used to determine whether to reject or retain a suspected outlier. 

The F-test enables the precisions of two sets of data to be compared using their variances. 

The t-test is used to compare two experimental means, an experimental mean with a known value or sets of pairs of experimental values.
