For my Small Assignment Submission #5 I chose to input my data into a graph to best summarize my data. In order to make the graph more user friendly, I had decided to use the averages of the replicates I performed in each treatment level and put those into my graph so clearly show the trend. I’m not sure if this was the best option as the graph is very simple and perhaps in this case more information may be better (despite what the tutorial had indicated). Either way I was able to see a trend in my data. From treatment level 1 to treatment level 2 there is an easily noticeable decline in the Western Honey Bee pollination activity numbers (from an average of 6.9 from treatment level 1 to 3.1 from treatment level 2). From treatment level 2 to treatment level 3 there is a decline but it is not nearly as noticeable or dramatic as the previous relationship mentioned (from an average of 3.1 from treatment level 2 to 2.8 from treatment level 3).
Although I was expecting perhaps a more consistently downward trending graph, the data still agrees with my initial hypothesis. I will continue to think about adjusting my graph to allow for more information to be present, while also maintaining a user-friendly appearance. My graph has been attached for reference.
