The photograph shows pea seeds with growing roots. (Source: © Sangita Pal / Alamy Stock Photo) Mitosis occurs in growing roots. A scientist allowed pea seeds to start growing in different concentrations of oxygen. Pea seeds were grown in oxygen concentrations of $$\(5 \%\)$$ and $$\(20 \%\)$$. After two days the root tips were removed. The tips were stained and observed under a microscope. The mitotic index for each root tip was determined. The results The scientist analysed the data with a $$\(t\)$$ test using the formula: where: $$\(\bar{x}\)$$ is the mean value for each treatment n is the number of samples for each treatment $$\(\left(S_{A}\right)^{2}=0.1325\)$$ and $$\(\left(S_{B}\right)^{2}=0.0700\)$$ Calculate the value of $$\(t\)$$.
