I think that it is pretty clear from your question that you are way out
of your depth and that you do not understand the concept of "significant
difference".
You should therefore seek help from a competent local statistician.
Although I could be wrong about my estimate of your depth of
understanding, it is at the very least true that you need to read the
posting guide carefully and learn how to ask a question that actually
makes sense, includes necessary details, and gives list members a
fighting chance of providing a meaningful answer.
cheers,
