The cumulative fractions of the t₂ times for the LMC nova sample compared with those of M31 and the Galaxy (MW). The LMC and Galactic samples yield a K-S probability of p = 0.159 and thus differ at only ∼1.4σ. On the other hand, both the LMC and Galactic samples differ from the M31 sample by 3.3σ (K-S p = 9.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 2.9σ (K-S p = 3.9 × 10⁻³), respectively.
