Table 1 shows one way analysis of variance of the calcium content from the

leaves of mint family. Since P<0.05, there is significant difference between the calcium

content of the mint family of plants. The peppermint showed the highest amount of

calcium compared to the other plants of the mint family. This is further explained by the

post-hoc test, shown as follows.

Table 2 shows results of tukey-kramer minimum significant difference of the

calcium content of the different leaves from the mint family. The plants, peppermint,

oregano, rosemary and thyme showed no significant difference against each other. This

means that their calcium content do not significantly vary from each other. However,

basil showed to have the lowest calcium content. While peppermint showed the highest

calcium content among all the plants of the mint family.
