So a t-test was a handy tool for comparing the means of two populations to look for significant differences, but sometimes you're not trying to compare two populations. In biology, and other sciences, you sometimes want to see if your data from the real world line up with a predicted number or ratio that you expected. For this sort of task you need a different tool....a goodness of fit test, in this case a Chi (pronounced K-eye) squared analysis.
