2-Sample

F

Test tests the hypothesis that there will be no change in the result for

a population when a result of a sample is composed of multiple factors and one or
more of the factors is removed. It could be used, for example, to test the carcino-
genic effects of multiple suspected factors such as tobacco use, alcohol, vitamin
deficiency, high coffee intake, inactivity, poor living habits, etc.
ANOVA tests the hypothesis that the population means of the samples are equal
when there are multiple samples. It could be used, for example, to test whether or
not different combinations of materials have an effect on the quality and life of a
final product.
The following pages explain various statistical calculation methods based on the
principles described above. Details concerning statistical principles and
terminology can be found in any standard statistics textbook.
