1. Theory
In the Analysis Of Variance, the total variance in the data is resolved into components. Each
one of these components of variance is contributed by a factor in the study. From this we can
estimate the fractional contribution of a factor to the total variance. Under the null hypothesis
of equality of population means compared, a test statistic involving the ratios of these variances
is known to follow an 𝐹 distribution with two degrees of freedom determined by the sample
sizes.
We consider the following three categories of the Analysis Of variance:
where the dot in the symbol 𝑋bar 𝑖. indicates that for a given data set 𝑖, the summation over
elements 𝑗 have been carried out. Hence, we replace 𝑗 by dot symbol.
The mean of the whole data set (grand mean) is computed by summing all the data sets and
dividing by the total number of data points in all of them together:

Theorem 4
Theorem 5
The computations are often summarized in a tabular format, called an ANOVA table. Tables
produced by statistical software customarily include a 𝑃-value column to the right of 𝑓.

way ANOVA using a 0.05 significance level to the following data:
