Chapter 12 Inference on the Least-squares Regression Line; ANOVA 12.3 One-way Analysis of Variance
Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) is an inferential method that is used to test the equality of three or more population means
Verifying the Requirement of Equal Population Variances The one-way ANOVA procedures may be used provided the largest sample standard deviation is no more than 2 times larger than the smallest sample standard deviation.
EXAMPLE Verifying the Requirements of ANOVA The following data represent the weight (in grams) of pennies minted at the Denver mint in 1990, 1995, and 2000. Verify that the requirements in order to perform a one-way ANOVA are satisfied.
