between two or more means or components through significance tests. It also shows us a way to
make multiple comparisons of several populations means. The Anova test is performed by
comparing two types of variation, the variation between the sample means, as well as the variation
within each of the samples. The below mentioned formula represents one-way Anova test statistics:
Solved Examples
For reference please go through the below-mentioned example:
Question 1:
The following data is given:
Dogs 5 12 2
Cats 5 16 1
Hamsters 5 20 4
Calculate the Anova coefficient.
Solution:
Construct the following table:
Animal name n x S S2
Dogs 5 12 2 4
Cats 5 16 1 1
Hamster 5 20 4 16
p=3
n=5
N = 15
x̄ = 16
SST = ∑n (x−x̄)2
SST= 5(12−16)2+5(16−16)2+11(20−16)2
= 160
MST = SSTp−1
MST = 1603−1
MST = 80
SSE = ∑ (n−1)S2
SSE = 4×4 + 4×1 + 4×16
SSE = 84
MSE= SSEN−p
MSE=841538415−3
MSE = 7
F = MSTMSE
F = 807
