  1. What null hypothesis is tested by ANOVA
  2. Describe the uses of ANOVA

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical method used to test differences between two or more means. It may seem odd that the technique is called "Analysis of Variance" rather than "Analysis of Means." As you will see, the name is appropriate because inferences
about means are made by analyzing variance.

ANOVA is used to test general rather than specific differences among means. This can be seen best by example. In the case study "Smiles
and Leniency
," the effect of different types of smiles on the leniency shown to a person was investigated. Four different types of smiles (neutral, false, felt, miserable) were investigated. The chapter "All
Pairwise Comparisons among Means
" showed how to test differences among means. The results from the Tukey HSD test are shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Six Pairwise Comparisons.

Comparison Mi-Mj Q p
False - Felt 0.46 1.65 0.649
False - Miserable 0.46 1.65 0.649
False - Neutral 1.25 4.48 0.010
Felt - Miserable 0.00 0.00 1.000
Felt - Neutral 0.79 2.83 0.193
Miserable - Neutral 0.79 2.83 0.193

Notice that the only significant difference is between the False and Neutral conditions.

ANOVA tests the non-specific null hypothesis that all four population means are equal. That is,

μfalse = μfelt = μmiserable = μneutral.

This non-specific null hypothesis is sometimes called the omnibus null hypothesis. When the omnibus null hypothesis is rejected, the conclusion is that at least one population mean is different from at least
one other mean. However, since the ANOVA does not reveal which means are different from which, it offers less specific information than the Tukey HSD test. The
Tukey HSD is therefore preferable to ANOVA in this situation. Some textbooks introduce the Tukey test only as a follow-up to an ANOVA. However, there is no logical or statistical reason why you should not use the Tukey test even if you do not compute an ANOVA.

You might be wondering why you should learn about ANOVA when the Tukey test is better. One reason is that there are complex types of analyses that can be done with ANOVA and not with the Tukey test. A second is that ANOVA is by far the most commonly-used technique
for comparing means, and it is important to understand ANOVA in order to understand research reports.
