Sorry if this has been asked before, if it has I couldn't find it. Also excuse me if I mix up terms, I'm a bit of a novice.
My experiment had two categorical independent variables.
1.)The feeding history of the fly (protein fed or sugar fed)
2.)The type of substrate tested for preference (meat, synthetic protein, blood, sucrose, fructose, dextrose, water)
And one dependent variable
1.) The amount of time the fly spent in contact with the substrate
To clarify in my experiment there are six flies in six separate petri dishes. 3 of the flies were previously sugar fed. 3 of the flies were previously protein fed.
Of the sugar fed flies 1 is exposed to a water soaked strip of gauze, 1 to a protein containing strip of gauze and 1 to a sugar containing strip of gauze.
Likewise for the other set of three flies.
What is the appropriate statistical test to use?
Thanks for any help
