Study Notes

Understanding the Text

The text explains the process of analyzing variance (ANOVA) using two-way ANOVA tables.
This method is used to determine if there is a significant difference in the mean values of two or more groups.

Two-Way ANOVA

The data is organized into a table with columns representing different salespersons and rows representing different months, or any two criteria.
The goal is to determine if the salespersons or months have a significant impact on the total sales.
The analysis considers the variance within each group (salespersons or months) and the variance between the groups.

Steps Involved in ANOVA

Step 1: Calculate the sum of squares of each column (∑𝑋2), row (∑𝑋2), and the total data (∑𝑋2).
Step 2: Calculate the total sum of observations (T) by adding the sums of each column.
Step 3: Calculate the Correction Factor (C.F.) using the formula: 𝑇2 / N.
Step 4: Calculate the Total Sum of Squares (SST) using the formula: ∑𝑋12+ ∑𝑋22, +…….∑𝑋2𝐾- CF.
Step 5: Calculate the Sum of Squares Between Samples (SSC) using the formula: (∑𝑋1)2/ 𝑛1 + (∑𝑋2)2/ 𝑛2 +.....................– CF.
Step 6: Calculate the Sum of Squares Within Samples (SSE) using the formula: SSE= SST-SSC.

ANOVA Table

The ANOVA table summarizes the results of the analysis.
It includes the source of variation, sum of squares (SS), degrees of freedom (v), mean square (MS), and variance ratio (F).

Example of Two-Way ANOVA

The text provides an example of a two-way ANOVA for analyzing the retail prices of a commodity in three cities.
The data consists of the prices observed in four shops randomly selected from each city.
The analysis determines whether there is a significant difference in prices between the three cities.

Interpreting the Results

The calculated F-values are compared to the critical F-value from the F-distribution table.
If the calculated F-value is greater than the critical F-value, the null hypothesis of no difference in means is rejected.
If the calculated F-value is less than the critical F-value, the null hypothesis is accepted, indicating no significant difference in means.

Conclusion

The results of the ANOVA analysis for the provided example indicate that the sales made by the salesmen and during different months do not differ significantly, as the calculated F-values are less than the critical F-values.
This suggests that neither the salesmen nor the months have a significant impact on the total sales, based on the given data.
