Table 7.
Factor | p Value | Statistical Implication | Conclusion |
---|---|---|---|
AOX | <0.0005 | Reject null hypothesis of no difference in means. | At least one mean pH is significantly different from the rest because of the type of antioxidant that was incorporated into the film. |
% AOX | 0.002 | Reject null hypothesis of no difference in means. | At least one mean pH is significantly different from the rest because of the content of antioxidant (% wt) in the film. |
Day | <0.0005 | Reject null hypothesis of no difference in means. | The mean pH measured on day 1 is significantly different from that measured on day 15. |
AOX and % AOX | 0.991 | Do not reject null hypothesis of no interaction between the factors. | The effect of the type of antioxidant on the mean pH does not significantly depend on its content (% wt). |
AOX and day | <0.0005 | Reject null hypothesis of no interaction between the factors. | The effect of the type of antioxidant on the mean pH significantly depends on the day when the pH is measured. |
% AOX and day | 0.175 | Do not reject null hypothesis of no interaction between the factors. | The effect of the content of antioxidant (% wt) on the mean pH does not significantly depend on the day when the pH is measured. |
AOX, % AOX and day | <0.0005 | Reject null hypothesis of no interaction among the factors. | There is a significant effect of the combination of the three factors in the mean pH values. |
AOX: antioxidant; % wt: weight percentage.
