This document provides an overview of analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques. It discusses Fisher's exact test and Lady Bristol's claim to distinguish teas through taste, noting the p-value was below 0.05, rejecting the null hypothesis that her ability was due to chance. It then outlines one-way ANOVA assumptions of normal distribution and independence between groups. Computing an F-score with sums of squares is explained, as is using ANOVA in R through functions like aov and manova. Reasons for using ANOVA are given, including exploring data, handling experimental error, and reducing Type 1 errors.
