Most extreme differences	Absolute	0.339	0.162	0.176
	Positive	0.339	0.162	0.176
	Negative	− 0.339	− 0.118	− 0.114
Kolmogorov–Smirnov Z		2.396	1.146	1.247
Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed)		0.000	0.144	0.089

Based on the results of the K-S test, the data exhibits normality on both occasions, as the significance value is higher than the designated significance level (p > 0.05)
