Choose the statement that best describes the purpose of ANOVA.
A) ANOVA is a procedure for comparing the means of several
groups.
B) ANOVA is a procedure for comparing different categories for
several groups.
C) The ANOVA procedure will reveal whether the means of several
groups are different and which group or groups have a different
mean.
D) None of these
The one-way ANOVA compares the means between the groups you are interested in and determines whether any of those means are statistically significantly different from each other. Specifically, it tests the null hypothesis:
where µ = group mean and k = number of groups. If, however, the one-way ANOVA returns a statistically significant result, we accept the alternative hypothesis (HA), which is that there are at least two group means that are statistically significantly different from each other.
option d) seems correct
