What is ANOVA?
ANOVA stands for “Analysis of Variance”
It is a procedure for comparing means of three or more groups
Procedures for Computing a Simple ANOVA
Code/Table the data
Compute basic ratios

Here is a simple one-way ANOVA with one factor and four levels. By way of example, let’s say the factor is the number of ‘sexting’ events that occurred at a particular high school, and the levels are grades- 1=Fr, 2=So, 3=Jr, 4=Sr Is there a significant difference between these column means?? In other words, does age have an effect on whether or not a student sends a ‘sexting’ message? If so, where are the differences (what ages)?

Sums of Squares-
SStotal = (2) – (1) = 5191 – 4624.01 = 566.99 SSA = (3) – (1) = 4684.17 – 4624.01 = 60.16 SSerror = (2) – (3) = 5191 – 4684.17 = 506.83
For ease of interpretation, we make a summary table.
These are the numbers from
the previous slide.
It is VERY important that you understand the relationships in the table.

ANOVA Summary Table
Source SS df MS F
A 60.16 a-1=3 20.05 2.69
Error 506.83 a(n-1)=68 7.45
Total 566.99 an-1=71
Note that the columns are additive.
60.16 + 506.83 = 566.99
3 + 68 = 71
Note that each MS is its
SS divided by its df-
20.05 = 60.16 3
7.45 = 506.83 68
Note that the F is the ratio
of MSA/MSE-
20.45 7.45 = 2.69
Results
If you compare your calculated F of 2.69 to a tabled value (from an F table) with 3 and 68 degrees of freedom, you find the tabled value (2.75) is larger than the calculated value. Therefore, you fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is no significant difference in the number of ‘sexting’ incidents as the students get older. (Even though 9.3 looks bigger than 6.7, it is not statistically different.)
