Table 2. Mean ± SD of retention values and the results of one-way ANOVA and pairwise comparisons (LSD) tests of the studied groups .
Group | Retention (N) | Ln (retention)* | P(one-way ANOVA) | Significant pairwise comparisons (LSD P value) |
1 | 46.88 ± 10.16 | 3.82 ± 0.24 | 3 vs 1 (0.016) | |
2 | 46.31 ± 9.06 | 3.82 ± 0.20 | 0.019 | 3 vs 2 (0.015) |
3 | 65.30 ± 18.85 | 4.13 ± 0.33 | 4 vs 1 (0.038) | |
4 | 62.25 ± 17.92 | 4.09 ± 0.31 | 4 vs 2 (0.034) | |
*Retention was changed to natural logarithm (Ln) to obtain homogeneity of variances in one-way ANOVA. |
