Table 2. Cross points of individual calves for each comparison, including training.
Calf | Training | Chopped vs. long hay | Chopped vs. long straw | Hay vs. straw |
1 | 18.5 | 14.2 | 6.7 | 30.8 |
2 | 25.1 | 17.1 | 22.2 | 33.8 |
3 | 22.7 | 18.9 | 22.5 | 27.5 |
4 | 23.2 | 13.8 | 21.6 | 42.3 |
5 | 18.6 | 12.2 | 19.9 | 33.5 |
6 | 20.8 | 17.9 | 20.8 | 38.9 |
7 | 25.9 | 14.5 | 6.8 | 41.4 |
8 | 17.0 | 14.3 | 30.9 | 117.4 |
9 | 21.7 | 19.3 | 20.7 | 46.1 |
Median | 21.7 | 14.5 | 20.8 | 38.9 |
Confidence interval | 18.9–23.9 | 14.0–18.0 | 13.8–25.41 | 32.3–42.02 |
P-value | 0.734 | 0.004 | 0.910 | 0.004 |
Note that the confidence interval here includes 21 and is wide, indicating a large variation between individual calves and a difficulty in drawing conclusions on this particular comparison.
Note that 42.0 is the largest value that the upper bound can take, since larger values would correspond to negative values for 42-x for the other resource.
