How do we test hypotheses about populations for three or more groups?
What will be an ideal response?
We can test hypotheses about populations for three or more groups in a similar way as with two groups. We can represent each population (different types of individuals or the same individuals under different conditions) with a different group in our study and then compare the sample means on our dependent variable using a one-way between-subjects ANOVA. The ANOVA will tell us if there is a difference amongst the means, and post hoc tests can tell us which means are significantly different if the ANOVA is significant.
