2.5. Data analysis
Data in this paper is represented using box plots so the 25% and 75%
percentiles, the median values, and the minimum and maximum data points
could be provided. All errors are described using the Standard Error of
the Mean (SEM). The sample sizes required were first determined using
power analysis with an upper limit of 0.05 and a significance level of
80%. Following the collection of data, the Shapiro-Wilk test method was
applied to check if the data followed a normal distribution. Considering
the non-normal distribution of data, Mann-Whitney test was used to
discern the presence of significant differences in the data.
