LAB REPORT # 06
• To understand and explain the one way ANOVA using Minitab or Ms. Excel.
• To know about the effectiveness of alternatives.
• To interpret recommendations and suggestions.
• To determine the statistically significant difference in values between the samples.
Introduction:
Minitab:
Minitab is a statistics package developed at the Pennsylvania State University by researchers Barbara F.
Ryan, Thomas A. Ryan, Jr., and Brian L. Joiner in conjunction with Triola Statistics Company in 1972.
Minitab is a statistics program that allows you to quickly enter your data and then run a variety of analyses
on that data. You can quickly prepare charts and calculate regression, and entering data works very similarly
to Excel. Minitab can take a lot of the hard work out of your statistics calculations.
One-way ANOVA:
One-Way ANOVA (analysis of variance) compares the means of two or more independent groups in order
to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly
different. One-Way ANOVA is a parametric test. This test is also known as: One Factor ANOVA. One way
ANOVA is used when data have a categorical factor and a continuous response.
In a one-way ANOVA there are two possible hypotheses.
The null hypothesis (H0) is that there is no difference between the groups and equality between
means (walruses weigh the same in different months).
The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that there is a difference between the means and groups
(walruses have different weights in different months)
Procedure:
Open the Ms. Excel software.
In Excel, click Data Analysis on the Data tab. From the Data Analysis popup, choose ANOVA: Single
Factor. Click ok as shown below;
Under One-Way Analysis of Variance, select the Response data are in separate columns for each
factor level. And select the all responses in responses blank. Select the tukey and fischer as post hoc
test in comparison tab select the boxplot and expended tables and Click OK as shown below;

Analysis of Variance
Conclusion:
In this lab, we learn about the one-way ANOVA. If we compare the p-value (0.000) and a significance level
(α= 0.05) we see that p0 < α so we can concluded to reject the null hypothesis. Results showed that there is
a significant difference between four alternatives (F (3, 76) = 11.92, p < 0.05). A statistically significant
difference is found between the four lines of service of air, soil, water, and training for return on investment.
ANOVA is significant, so we need to perform post-hoc test (Tukey's, fischer) to evaluate the pair-wise
differences between the means of four group means. A significant difference exists among the four lines of
services for return on investment. The rate on investment is highest for the soil remediation, followed by
air monitoring, water reclamation, and health and safety training respectively.
