Reject H₀ at α = 0.05. If all group means were equal, a result at least this extreme would turn up with probability 0.0032. The p-value is not the probability that H₀ is true, and a significant result says nothing about how large or important the effect is. Group membership accounts for 61.5% of the total variation (η²). ANOVA does not say which groups differ — follow up with a post-hoc comparison such as Tukey's HSD.
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests whether two or more independent groups share the same mean. It splits the total variation into a between-group sum of squares and a within-group sum of squares, divides each by its degrees of freedom (k − 1 and N − k) to get mean squares, and takes their ratio as the F statistic. The p-value is the area of the F distribution beyond that F.
Typical uses are comparing crop yields under three fertilisers, exam scores across teaching methods or response times across product versions. The default data, the NIST e-Handbook example with three groups of five, give F = 9.59 on 2 and 12 degrees of freedom and p = 0.0032, so at α = 0.05 the three means are not all equal.
The test assumes independent observations, roughly normal data in each group and similar group variances. A significant F says that at least one mean differs, not which one.

प्रश्न
What does the p-value in ANOVA mean?
It is the probability of an F statistic at least as large as the one observed if every group mean were equal. With the default data p = 0.0032: equal means would produce F ≥ 9.59 in about 3 samples out of 1,000. It is not the probability that the null hypothesis is true, and a small p-value does not say how large the differences are; η² measures that.
How do you interpret the F statistic?
F is the between-group mean square divided by the within-group mean square. Equal population means give F values near 1; larger values point to real differences. How large is large enough depends on the degrees of freedom: with 2 and 12 df the 5% critical value is 3.885, so F = 9.59 is significant at α = 0.05 and F = 3 would not be.
What are the assumptions of one-way ANOVA?
Independent observations, a roughly normal distribution in each group, and equal population variances. The F test tolerates moderate non-normality when groups are of similar size. Moore and McCabe's rule of thumb accepts the equal-variance assumption if the largest group standard deviation is less than twice the smallest; otherwise use Welch's ANOVA, and for clearly non-normal data the Kruskal–Wallis test.
How do you find which groups differ after ANOVA?
Run a post-hoc test. Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) compares every pair while holding the family-wise error rate at α; the Bonferroni method tests each of the m pairs at α/m, which is 0.05/3 ≈ 0.0167 for three groups. Separate t-tests at 0.05 on every pair push the chance of at least one false positive well above 5%, towards 1 − 0.95³ ≈ 14% for three comparisons.
What is a good eta squared value?
η² is the between-group sum of squares divided by the total sum of squares: the share of variation explained by group membership. Cohen (1988) proposed 0.01, 0.06 and 0.14 as small, medium and large effects. The default data give 27.897/45.349 = 0.615, a very large effect. η² overstates the population effect in small samples; ω² corrects for that bias.
