Table 3

Calculated probabilities of finding the asymmetry between the SEQ and the NEQ equal to or higher than those found in Planck data in the MC simulations using the Planck masks described previously considering the ΛCDM model.

Map	σ_SEQ/σ_NEQ	P1^a	P2^b	P3^c

SMICA2 + mask-rulerminimal	6.1	<0.1%	0.3%	1.4%
SMICA2 + U73	4.5	1.4%	2.8%	6.3%
SMICA2 + UT78	3.5	2.7%	4.2%	17.1%
SMICA2 + U66	3.4	4.6%	9.7%	20.4%

Notes.

^(a)

Probability of finding the asymmetries in the simulations for exactly same configuration as in the SMICA map.

^(b)

Probability of finding the asymmetries between the SEQ quadrant and any other quadrant in the simulations.

^(c)

Probability of finding the asymmetries between any pair of quadrants in the simulations.
