Introduction to Analysis Variance Flashcards
It is a hypothesis-testing procedure that is used to evaluate mean differences between two or more treatments or populations.
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
The variable that designates the groups being compared.
Factor
The individual conditions that make up a factor.
Levels of the Factor
A study with two combine factors.
Two-factor design/Factorial Design
It is the risk of a Type I error, or alpha level, for an individual hypothesis test.
Testwise Alpha Level
It is the total probability of a Type I error that is accumulated from all of the individual tests in the experiment.
Experimentwise Alpha Level
It simply measures how much difference exists between the treatment conditions.
Between-treatments Variance
It provides a measure of how big the differences are when the null hypothesis is true.
Within-treatments Variance
The denominator of the F-ratio that provides a measure of the variance caused by random, unsystematic differences.
Error Term
Symbol for the number of levels of the factor.
k
Symbol the number of score in each treatment.
n
Symbol of the total number of scores in the entire study.
N
Symbol for the sum of all scores in the research study.
G
It is used to organize the results of the analysis in one table.

It is accounted for by the treatment effect that is usually called in the Greek letter as eta squared.
