This test was chosen since data were not normal. Subsequently, the Scheffe test (alpha = 0.05) was used to indicate which groups differed significantly (see Table 12) and three groups were identified.

Section 4.1.11. gives more information on both the Kruskal-Wallis and Scheffe tests. Table 12. Scheffe test results for kiln drying related knowledge of groups.
