Comment briefly on the following statements and determine
whether or not the statements are true:
1. In one factor ANOVA where the factor is fixed, a
highly significant F statistic (p <0.001) indicates that the K
population means are all different.
2. In one factor ANOVA, we need to use multiple
comparisons (like Tukey procedure) because it is impossible to
compare K means all at once.
(1)
The statement is not true.
Explanation: In one factor ANOVA where the factor is fixed, a highly significant F statistic (P <0.001) indicates that at least one population mean out of the K populations is different from the other K - 1 population means.
(2)
The statement is true
Explanation:The one way ANOVA answers the question: Are all the means equal?". But, we require multiple comparisons (like Turkey procedure) to answer: which means are equal and by how much?
