Abstract
By referring to 1 of 3 tables, derived from Fisher''s exact factorial method and obtained with a computer, it is possible to decide if differences observed between 2 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 helpful for planning experiments. Examples are given in various fields of biology.
