I am having trouble interpreting this bar chart.

Figure 3. Cross-contaminated cell counts of Salmonella Typhimurium and Enterococcus faecium onto butternut squashes after triple-wash in a mixer of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and peroxyacetic acid (PAA) by mixing 2 inoculated with 5 uninoculated clean samples (“2:5” ratio). Note: Values are expressed as log₁₀MPN/g, mean ± S.E. Mean values with same letters and capital letters are not significantly different (P > 0.05) for S. Typhimurium and E. faecium, respectively. ** indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) in the reductions between S. Typhimurium and E. faecium for 0.84 ml/dL of the H₂O₂-PAA mixer.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...

Expert Solution

Step 1

The given figure contains the concentrations of Salmonella Typhimurium and Enterococcus faecium (ml/dL) on X-axis and the value of log₁₀MPN/g on Y-axis. The bars represent the mean concentrations of Salmonella Typhimurium and Enterococcus faecium as per the labels specified.
