Question: Almost all of you responded to Week 2 DQ2 with a "test of two sample means" hypothesis test, when the DQ called for an ANOVA test of multiple means. The ANOVA test of multiple means requires at least three samples to be compared. So, with that upper most in our minds, let's try again:

Describe a 5-step hypothesis test of multiple means (using the one-factor or the two-factor ANOVA test process) for a particular claim related to your work or life environment. You need to state the claim, define the null and alternate hypotheses, identify the test significance and the test statistic, and state the decision rule that will be used. The decision rule may be based on critical values or on the p-value approach. You do not need to collect data and actually conduct the test calculations unless you wish to do so.
