The One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) calculator computes the ANOVA F score and degrees of freedom for a number of groups.
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following in comma separated lists:
(OB) Observation Table of Groups
(OC) Output Choice (F-Score or Details)
ANOVA F-Score: The calculator returns the F-score and degrees of freedom for the null hypothesis. Note: there has to be an equal number of observations in all groups. The calculator also returns the following support statistics:
F Score
Numerator: degrees of freedom Between:
Denominator: degrees of freedom Within:

Example
A school administrator want to know if the time / day of taking tests significantly affect test scores. Let's consider four groups of students taking pop quizzes. Group 1 only gets tested on Mondays first period. Group 2 only gets tested Wednesday after lunch. Group 3 only gets tested in the last period on Fridays, and Group 4 on random days and times. The quiz has 12 questions with a range of potential scores from 0 to 12.

The above data would be entered into this calculator as follows:
11,7,6,5 9,9,5,3 10,8,7,4
How many degrees of freedom(DF) do you see?
What is the F-Score?
Based on that, compare it to the chosen alpha level (see below) and determine if you accept or reject the hypothesis.
The Math / Science
In ANALYSIS of VARIANCE (ANOVA), the formula for the sample variance is:
Observational Stats: This function accepts a table (rows and columns separated by commas) of numbers and calculates observational statistics for any of the columns. This includes count, min, max, sum, sum of squares (Σx²), square of the sum (Σx)², mean, median, mode, range, mid point, rand, sort up, sort down, rand, population variance, population standard deviation, the sample/experimental variance, sample/experimental standard deviation.
Simple Stats: This is also provides a full set of observational stats, but on a single row of numbers separated by commas. The observational stats include count, min, max, sum, sum of squares (Σx²), square of the sum (Σx)², mean, median, mode, range, mid point, rand, sort up, sort down, rand, population variance, population standard deviation, the sample/experimental variance, sample/experimental standard deviation.
Frequency Distribution: This function lets you enter a string of numbers separated by commas, a low and high range and a number of bins. It then computes how many of the observations are in each of the bins between the high and low values designated.
Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test: This provides the Wilcoxon statistics and critical value for two groups of numeric observations based on an alpha value and whether it's a one or two tailed test.
Linear Equation: This computes the range (y) of a linear equation (y = mx +b) and includes a graphing function.
Probability between z SCORES: This computes the area under the Normal Distribution curve between two z SCOREs which equates to the probability of an event in that range.
Count: This computes the number (n) of observations in a set of numbers.
Minimum: This computes the minimum (min) value in a set of numbers.
Maximum: This computes the maximum (max) value in a set of numbers.
Numeric Sort: This sorts (ascending or descending) a set of comma separated numerical observations.
Random Sample (k items): The provides a random subset of a specified size (k) in a set of comma separated numerical observations.
Random Real Number in Range: The provides a random real number between two specified real numbers (upper and lower bounds).
Radom Integer: The provides a random integer between two specified integers (upper and lower bounds).
Frequency Distribution: This provides a frequency distribution table for a comma separated set of numbers with a specified number of frequency bins between a lower and upper data range.
Sample Variance (s2) : This computes the variance, a metric regarding the spread of values, for a sample set of numeric values within a greater population.
Sample Standard Deviation (s): This computes the standard deviation for a sample set of numeric values within a greater population.
z SCORE Formula: This computes the z SCORE for a value base on the mean and standard deviation.
z SCORE: This computes the z SCORE for a value (Raw Score) based on a set of values, and whether that set is sample or population.
Percentile: This computes the percentile of a value (y) in a set (X) of values.
Percent Relative Standard Deviation (%RSD): This computes the percent relative standard deviation, also known as the coefficient of variation (CV). The %RSD is a measure of the dispersion of a probability distribution.
