The results show that there is not a significant difference between the control and experimental treatments. This makes sense as the concentration of Mycalolide B drug added to the experimental treatment, was extremely low, almost negligible.

analysis. I have converted them to an excel sheet and have calculated the EOQ. Here from the calculation I have found that the frequency of refilling the petrol should be 8 times for 400 km whereas the actual filling was done for 6 times. From my point of view I would say that it was a fixed reorder quantity model, in which when the indicator reaches to show empty tank bike would fall into reserves and my friend would rush to fill petrol. Here I have assumed that whenever he finds the indicator
