Question: There are 2 questions to be addressed: 1. How does the density of seeds grown together affect the germination speed, vegetative growth rate, and survival

There are 2 questions to be addressed:

1. How does the density of seeds grown together affect the germination speed, vegetative growth rate, and survival rate of [radish, sunflower, or fenugreek] plants through intraspecific competition?

2. How does the species identity of seeds grown together and allelopathy affect the germination speed, vegetative growth rate, and survival rate of [two chosen plant species] through interspecific competition?

Hypotheses:

Intraspecific -

Null: The density of seeds per growth pellet will not have any impact on the average plant germination speed, average plant vegetative growth rate, and percentage of survival in a single plant species.

Alternative: The density of seeds per growth pellet will have an impact on the average plant germination speed, average plant vegetative growth rate, and percentage of survival in a single plant species.

Interspecific -

Null: The species identity of seeds grown together in the same growth pellet will not have any impact on the average plant germination speed, average plant vegetative growth rate, and percentage of survival in any two plant species.

Alternative: The species identity of seeds grown together in the same growth pellet will have an impact on the average plant germination speed, average plant vegetative growth rate, and percentage of survival in any two plant species.

using the questions along with the hypotheses written above, please do t-test and explain what the results mean in terms of the null and alternative hypotheses. I really need the T-TEST values please because I'm very confused!! Thank you!
