General ANOVA

Questão 1 de 31

1

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

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • 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
