At least one class differs from one other class (H₀: μ_class1 = μ_class2 = μ_class3 = μ_class4), p < .005. When the overall test was significant, indicating that at least one class differed from one other class, post hoc contrasts were used to compare the percentages for each pair of classes. For a given variable (column), classes with different superscripts were significantly different from one another (p < .05).
