Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine if there is a difference between the means of different populations. Example: A company was trying to sell her the feed they produced by claiming that if her hens ate their feed, the hens would produce more eggs. They offered her a study to read in which they demonstrated that their feed was the best. To support this, they conducted an experiment in which they fed four different types of food, including their own, to groups of hens.
