Comparison of average values of explanatory variables between observations from 2008-09 and 2017-18, and between reweighted observations from 2008-09 and observations from 2017-18. Two-sample t-tests allowing unequal variances were conducted for the differences in means, with hypotheses |$H_0: \mu_{2017-18}-\mu_{2008-09} = 0$| and |$H_0: \mu_{2017-18}-\mu_{reweighted} = 0$|. Statistical significance levels: * p < 0.1, ** p < 0.05, *** p < 0.01.
