Unit 16: Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

1. What is ANOVA?

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical method used to compare the means of three or more groups to determine if at least one group mean is different from the others. It helps answer questions like: "Do different teaching methods lead to different average test scores?"

2. Types of ANOVA

  • One-way ANOVA: Compares means across one factor (e.g., test scores by teaching method).
  • Two-way ANOVA: Compares means across two factors (e.g., test scores by teaching method and gender).

3. Assumptions of ANOVA

  • Independence of observations
  • Normality (data in each group are approximately normal)
  • Homogeneity of variances (each group has similar variance)

4. The ANOVA Table and F-statistic

ANOVA uses the F-statistic to compare the variance between group means to the variance within groups. The ANOVA table summarizes the calculations:

SourceSum of SquaresdfMean SquareF
Between GroupsSSbetweenk-1MSbetweenF = MSbetween / MSwithin
Within GroupsSSwithinN-kMSwithin

5. Interpreting ANOVA Results

If the F-statistic is large and the p-value is small (typically < 0.05), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that at least one group mean is different.

6. Practice Quizzes

Quiz 1: ANOVA Basics

What is the main purpose of ANOVA?




Quiz 2: ANOVA Assumptions

Which is not an assumption of ANOVA?





Quiz 3: Interpreting the F-statistic

If the F-statistic is large and the p-value is small, what should you conclude?

🏞️ River Distance Explorer 📏 Measure Distance 🏞️ River Distance Explorer – Learn Trigonometry Through a Fun Interactive Game Are you a fan of math and visual learning? Want to see trigonometric concepts like tangent and triangle angles come to life? Look no further! 🎯 Today, I’d love to introduce a simple but powerful educational game I created called River Distance Explorer . This browser-based game allows you to measure the distance across a river using a virtual triangle and your understanding of right-angle trigonometry . 🎮 How It Works In this interactive canvas: Points A and B are on your side of the river. Point C is across the river. Point B is fixed, while A can be dragged left or right. A dashed arrow (AC) points from A to C. You can drag the tip of the arrow (point C) to change the angle. Using the angle ∠CAB and the length of AB, the game calculates BC , the distance across the river using: tan ( θ ) = BC AB ⇒ BC =...
