a
The percent mortality for each respective CPB dose was averaged across the absence or presence of the inactive ingredient (ECB high dose).
b
The percent mortality for either the absence or presence of the inactive ingredient (ECB high dose), respectively, was averaged across the two CPB doses.
c
Significance level of α = 0.05; df = 11.
