If there is no statistical significance (P > 0.05), statistical analysis is performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). If ANOVA is statistically significant (P≤0.05), a comparison analysis is performed using LSD test (parametric method). If the variance is not uniform (P≤0.05), then the Kruskal-Wallis test is used. If the Kruskal-Wallis Test is statistically significant (P≤0.05), a comparative analysis is performed using Dunnett's Test (nonparametric method). The statistical result takes alpha=0.05 as a checking limit, wherein p≤0.05 represents a statistical significance and p≤0.01 represents a very significant significance of the checked differences.
