ANOVA: Test About More Than Two Population Means Motivating Example: A sample of 10 students was obtained from

m each of four teachers. The mathematics scores on the ACT are given in the table below: Teacher A B C D Mean 25.3 20.7 18.1 17.3 SD 3.21 5.57 5.01 4.75 Sample Size 10 10 10 10

Is theer significant evidence the mean student ACT scores are not equal for all four teachers? Use . Statistical Tools: ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) o To test the equality for K population means, K>2 o The hypotheses look like:

Ho : Ha: Key Assumptions: o All sample means are normally distributed o The K samples are independent o Equal variances (i.e. Thoughts of ANOVA: o Obtain 2 different variance estimates for , one is only true under H0 (denotes ), and the other estimate is always true (denoted ) o Examine if the 2 variance estimates, and , are estimating the same parameter using the following fact: Fact: If two statistics and are both estimates of variance , then

(i.e. the ration of the two estimates follows an F distribution with df1 and df2. So we will calculate the ration of distribution. What is ? o An estimate for the common variance equal when H0 is true and all means are and check how likely it is from an Fdf1,df2

o So is the Sum of Squares between samples or the between sample variability o What is ? o The pooled variance estimate from all K samples, this is always a valid estimate for regardless if H0 is true or not (as long as populations have equal variance) o =

ANOVA Table: To easily compute and The Total Sum of Squares (TSS) = Within-sample Sum of Squares (SSW) + Sum of Squares Between Samples (SSB) Source Between Samples Within Samples Total SSW= SSB= Source Between Samples Within Samples Total Conduct the 5-step ANOVA using the information obtained in the ANOVA table.
