Statistical tables to detect significance between frequencies in two small samples, with particular reference to biological assays

J St Pierre et al. Rev Can Biol. 1976 Mar.

Abstract

By simply referring to one of three tables, derived from Fisher's exact factorial method and obtained with the aid of a computer, it is possible to decide readily if differences observed between two small and equal or unequal size series are statistically significant at probability levels of 0.10, 0.05 and 0.01. The same can be very helpful for planning experiments. Examples are given in various fields of biology.
