Impact of Variance
• An ANOVA test is a way to find out if survey or experiment results are significant.
In other words, they help you to figure out if you need to reject the null
hypothesis or accept the alternate hypothesis.
ANOVA.
❖One-way ANOVA.
❖Two-way ANOVA.
If the among group variance is large enough compared to within group variance, we
may say that averages of these three groups are significantly different. To test the
null hypothesis ("Three group averages are same"), we simply need to calculate the
ratio of among group variance to within group variance, F value.
• Establish the hypotheses. H0: µ1= µ2= µ3 and H1: At least one of the
group means is different from the others.

▪ SSb= sum of squares between treatments
▪ SSw= sum of squares due to error
▪ MSb= mean square for treatments
▪ MSW= mean square for error
▪ SST= total sum of squares
▪ T= number of treatment levels
▪ n= number of runs at a particular level
▪ N= total number of runs
▪ F= the calculate F statistic with k-1 and N-k are the degrees of freedom
▪ Determine the critical value. F critical value from the F distribution table.
▪ Finally, Draw the statistical conclusion. If Fcalc< Fcritical fail to reject the null hypothesis
and if Fcalc > Fcritical, reject the null hypothesis.
So, calculated value does lie in the critical region. Therefore, there is
evidence, at the 5% significance level that the mean lifetime of the three
brands batteries do differ.
