Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ANOVA computes the F-statistic by dividing the mean square between groups by the mean square within groups. Therefore, the best choice is option C – F. Option A (t) is incorrect because the t-test is used to compare means of two groups, not more than two groups. Option B (z) is incorrect because it is the standard normal distribution and not a test statistic. Option D (R2) is incorrect because it is a coefficient of determination used in regression analysis to estimate the proportion of variability in the dependent variable explained by the independent variables.
