Study Notes
Comparing Means of Three or More Groups
- To compare means of three or more groups, a statistical test called ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is used.
Null Hypothesis in ANOVA
- The null hypothesis in ANOVA states that all population means are equal, meaning there is no significant difference between the groups.
F-statistic in ANOVA
- The F-statistic is a ratio of two Variances: variance between groups (MSbetween) and variance within groups (MSwithin).
- It is used to determine the probability of observing the data assuming that the null hypothesis is true.
- A high F-statistic value indicates a low probability of observing the data by chance, suggesting that the null hypothesis can be rejected.
