Essentials of Biostatistics in Public Health

Lisa M. Sullivan

This Excel workbook contains 2 worksheets to conduct analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests of hypothesis to test the equality of
independent means using the formulas and procedures outlined in Chapter 7 of Essentials of Biostatistics in Public Health.

For each analysis, either raw data (i.e. data measured on each participant in the study sample(s)) or summary data (e.g., samp
size, sample mean and sample standard deviation) can be entered into the worksheet to conduct the ANOVA test. The
worksheets for each analysis are described below.

Worksheets to Conduct Analysis of Variance Tests

1 - ANOVA
Test of hypothesis for the equality of k independent means, continuous outome - Enter raw data into worksheet

2 - ANOVA - Summary Data

Test of hypothesis for the equality of k independent means, continuous outome - Enter sample sizes, sample means, sample
standard deviations
