Abstract:

In most introductory statisitcs courses and textbooks, hypothesis testing is introduced for one and two group tests and analysis of variance is used as a tool for comparing three or more groups; however, some textbooks and instructors also show that ANOVA also works for comparing two independent groups (One Factor ANOVA) or paired observations (Randomized Blocks). This paper goes a step further and shows how analysis of variance can also be used for one group hypothesis testing (mean vs. hypothesized value). The procedure described is a simple use of randomized blocks ANOVA and it is useful for illustrating the relationships between the different types of hypothesis tests and ANOVA.
