One-way ANOVA

SHORT-CUT METHOD FOR ONEWAY ANOVA

(i) Take the total of the values of individual items in all the
samples i.e., work out Xij
i = 1, 2, 3,
j = 1, 2, 3,
and call it as T.
(ii) Work out the correction factor as under:

(iii) Find out the square of all the item values one by one
and then take its total. Subtract the correction factor from
this total and the result is the sum of squares for total
variance.

(iv) Sum of squares for variance between
the samples

(v) Sum of squares for variance within the

samples

Example: Set up an analysis of variance table for the

following per acre production data for three varieties of
wheat, each grown on 4 plots and state if the variety
differences are significant

A research company has designed three different systems to clean

up oil spills. The following table contains the results, measured by
how much surface area (in square meters) is cleared in 1 hour. The
data were found by testing each method in several trials. Are the
three systems equally effective? Use the 0.05 level of significance
