Statistical Treatment

The frequency counts, means, percentages, and ANNOVA

were statistical tools used to analyze the data gathered.

The formula are as follows:

1. mean

Σx
x̄= n

where:
x̄ = mean

𝛴= summation

𝑛= number of interested

2. ANOVA

MST
F¿
MSE

Where:

F= ANOVA coefficient

MST= Mean sum of square due to treatment

MSE= Mean sum of squares due to error
