How does an ANOVA differ from a t test of independent samples?

1. An ANOVA allows the comparison of mean scores between and among two or more groups. This test notes that a difference is found, if there is one, but not where the difference lies. 2. An ANOVA is a much higher level test and has no comparison to a t test. 3. An ANOVA compares the means of two or more groups on the dependent measure but an independent t test compares pre- and post scores. 4. An ANOVA gives the reader information about the population of interest but not about the sample in a particular study.
