One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) - 3 Groups

`F = "variance between treatments" / "variance within treatments"`
`"Number of groups"`
`"Sample size 1"`
`"Standard deviation of sample 1"`
`"Sum of values in sample 1"`
`"Sample size 2"`
`"Standard deviation of sample 2"`
`"Sum of values in sample 2"`
`"Sample size 3"`
`"Standard deviation of sample 3"`
`"Sum of values in sample 3"`

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) evaluates mean differences between two or more treatments or populations (Gravetter and Wallnau, 2013). Functionally, it performs the same kind of analysis as a t-test, but the advantage of an ANOVA is that an ANOVA can compare more than two groups at once, whereas a t-test is limited to two groups. 

Changing Number of Groups

Below are variations on the ANOVA with different groups.

ANOVA with 4 groups

ANOVA with 5 groups

Computing Standard Deviation and Sum of Values

Below are various calculators that supply descriptive statistics for sets of data. It is compatible with sample sizes between n=6 and n=12.
