Appendix 1—table 3. Two-sample Mann-Whitney hypothesis test between $b$ (minor semi-axis of the ellipse ) and $r$ (circumference radius).

H0(H1): The radii of the circumferences and the values of the minor semi-axis of the ellipses came from the same distribution function (different). This table is equivalent to Appendix 1—table 2. We considered to split the results for each semi-axis of the ellipse for better analysis and visualization.
