    Objectives

    Upon completion of this chapter, you should be able to:

    • Perform basic computations for Single Factor ANOVA and interpret the results.
    • Carry out the Tukey pairwise mean comparison method.
    • Learn about other pairwise mean comparison methods.
    • Conduct a contrast analysis that accommodates the comparison of group means.

    In this chapter, we will begin to learn the notation and the formulas to compute the fundamental quantities necessary for ANOVA-related hypothesis testing as well as mean comparison procedures. The application of these statistical procedures will be illustrated using the Greenhouse example from Chapter 1.
