The initial finding part and determining whether null hypothesis is accepted or not is same for

all. Following them, what you have to write for different conditions is as followed

For Bar Graphs/Significant difference


After accepting or rejecting null hypothesis. Repeat the hypothesis accordingly. i.e
Accepting: there is no significant difference in {.} (as in null hypothesis)
Rejecting: there is a significant difference in the {} (as in null hypothesis)

When explaining graph, compare and tell the result, i.e


The graph shows that {..} has greater/larger {} than {}

[optional point] Then you can compare the variability of the set of data from the graph.
E.g-
There is more variability (if the range bar is larger) for the data of student with
music than those without music.

For Scatter Graph/Significant Correlation


After accepting or rejecting null hypothesis, say what is happening. i.e
Accepting: There is no significant correlation between {.} and {.} (as in null
hypothesis)
Rejecting: There is a significant negative/positive correlation in the {..} and {.}
(as in null hypothesis)

When explaining graph, state the type of correlation (positive or negative) if the graph
supports the interpretation of hypothesis (I.e- if hypothesis is proved to be wrong and
there is significant positive correlation and graph shows positive correlation as well) and
explain whats happening (i.e- with an increase in this, that increases) (like AS). E.g-
The graph shows that there is a positive significant correlation between
temperature and the mean daphnia heart rate. As the temperature increases,
the heart of daphnia also increases.

*If the graph doesnt agree with the interpretation of hypothesis (I.e- if
hypothesis is proved to be wrong and there is significant positive correlation but
graph shows negative correlation), then write-
[in bracket] (However the graph may show a possible negative correlation
between {} and {} )
[optional point] Then you can write about whether the range bars overlap or not (from
the graph). i.e-
The range bars for {..} and {.} overlap.
