One Way ANOVA 20162
One Way ANOVA 20162
• Using
the ANOVA allows us to compare the
means from all levels of the factor and keep
the experiment-wise error rate equal to a
1. The experiment has only one independent
variable and all conditions contain
independent samples
2. The dependent variable measures normally
distributed interval or ratio scores
3. The variances of all populations
represented are homogeneous
1. State the null and research hypothesis
2. Set the level of risk or significance
3. Select appropriate test statistic
4. Compute the test statistic value (Fobt)
5. Determine the Fcrit
6. Compare Fobt to Fcrit
7. Interpret the data
8. Perform Post Hoc Comparisons
• An experiment was performed to determine
how well people perform a task depending
on how difficult they believe the task will be
(perceived difficulty – IV).
• There are 3 levels (conditions) having 5
participants each.
• They were provided with the same 10 math
problems (stimulus)
• We will tell participants in Condition 1 that
the problems are easy, in Condition 2 that the
problems are of medium difficulty and
Condition 3 difficult. (we have 3 levels)

5. Determine the Fcrit
The F-distribution is the sampling distribution
showing the various values of F that occur when H0
is true and all conditions represent one population

• Using the following data set, conduct a one-
