Table 2: Results of two sample T-tests, where the eggplants height mean values of aquaponics were compared to those of soil system and the differences were statistically evaluated for p < 0.05, after the two sample test for variance was performed by using OriginPro 2016 (OriginLab, Northhampton, MA).
Time | Traditional system mean | Traditional system standard deviation | Aquaponic system mean | Aquaponic system standard deviation | Prob > |t| | Two sample test for variance | Prob > F |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Day 0 | 4.15 | 0.8 | 5.21 | 1.42 | 0.03 | Equal variances | 0.05 |
Day 4 | 4.69 | 0.85 | 5.64 | 1.39 | 0.04 | Equal variances | 0.1 |
Day 7 | 6 | 1.08 | 5.21 | 1.42 | 0.12 | Equal variances | 0.1 |
Day 11 | 7.23 | 1.17 | 8 | 1.36 | 0.13 | Equal variances | 0.6 |
Day 18 | 10.77 | 1.59 | 9.64 | 1.69 | 0.09 | Equal variances | 0.83 |
Day 25 | 16.85 | 4.51 | 12.36 | 1.91 | 4.30E-03 | Different variances | 4.23E-03 |
Day 32 | 32.15 | 9.61 | 17 | 3.19 | 8.15E-05 | Different variances | 3.58E-04 |
Day 39 | 44.08 | 12.2 | 18.93 | 3.93 | 4.73E-06 | Different variances | 2.63E-04 |
Day 46 | 61.46 | 12.36 | 21.36 | 5.39 | 8.66E-09 | Different variances | 5.62E-03 |
Prob > |t| and Prob > F indicate if the p-value was less than 0.05 in the two sample t-tests and two sample tests for variance, respectively.
