General ANOVA

Frage 1 von 31

1

For an experiment comparing more than two treatment conditions you should use analysis of variance rather than separate t-tests because:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • You are less likely to make a mistake in the computations of ANOVA

  • A test based on variance is more sensitive than a test based on means

  • ANOVA has less risk of a Type I error because several means are compared in one test

  • ANOVA has less risk of a Type II error because several means are compared in one test

Erklärung
