### Kruskal-Wallis Rank Sum Test  
**Ra:** The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test were significant based on an alpha value of 0.05, \(\chi^{2}(3)\) = 8.23, \(p\) = 0.041, indicating that the mean rank of Ra was significantly different between the levels of Group. Table 2 presents the results of the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. Figure 3 presents boxplots of the ranked values of Ra by the levels of Group. \begin{table}
