Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a technique that is general and widely used in
the field of statistics. In addition to the appropriate procedure for testing the equality of means, ANOVA has wider application. ANOVA's main objective lies in evaluating and checking theory on the treatment effect of the parameters. According to Jahan (2017), Usually t-test cannot be used in testing the joint hypotheses and partial slope coefficient are zero at once. However, ANOVA is defined as in the following table:
