Chapter 11

One Way Analysis of Variance

In the notation that is used on Pages 199 - 200, we have noticed some inconsistencies in the first edition that we originally intended to correct. What was presented in this second edition is the same as the first edition. However, here we present versions of steps 1 - 7 that are more consistent and hopefully more intuitive.

Step 1 = Find ΣXij =  ΣX.1 + ΣX.2 + ..... + ΣX.j

For this example: ΣX.1 + ΣX.2 + ΣX.3

= -110 + -20 + -5 = -135

Step 2 = Find ΣX2ij =  ΣX.12 + ΣX.22 + ..... + ΣX.j2

For this example: ΣX.12 + ΣX.22 + ΣX.32

Step 3 = Find (ΣXij/Nij) = (Step 1/Nij) = -135/30 = -4.5

        Where Nij = Σn.j = n.1 + n.2 + ..... + n.j

        For this example: n.1 + n.2 + n.3 = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30

Step 4 - 6 = Find [(ΣX.j)2/n.j] for each available group

Step 4 = (ΣX.1)2/n.1 = (-110)2/10 = 12100/10 = 1210

Step 5 = (ΣX.2)2/n.2 = (-20)2/10 = 400/10 = 40

Step 6 = (ΣX.3)2/n.3 = (-5)2/10 = 25/10 = 2.5

Step 7 = Σ[(ΣX.j)2/n.j] = Step 4 + Step 5 + Step 6
