Notes. The null hypothesis that the residual galaxy properties (1) between nucleated and non-nucleated galaxies in our sample are drawn from the same distribution. The alternative hypothesis is that the null hypothesis is false. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (2), Anderson-Darling (3), Lepage (4), and Cucconi (5) statistics were used for each galaxy quantity. The p values were calculated for the galaxies within overlapping stellar masses (106.4M < M* < 1010.7M; Col. (3) from Fig. 13). p values below the significance level α = 0.05 are shown in bold. We also describe the difference in residual properties for nucleated galaxies as compared to non-nucleated galaxies (6) for those that have significant test statistic(s).

(a)

The significance of C is likely due to the fact that the non-parametric indices are calculated including the nucleus.
