1. What are three lessons learned relative (to?) ANOVA and nonparametric tests?

The observations all arise from one of several different groups (or have been exposed to one of several different treatments in an experiment). We are classifying 'one-way' according to the group or treatment. Two Way Analysis of Variance is a way of studying OR LEARNING the effects of two factors separately (their main effects) and (sometimes) together (their interaction effect).

Example: Learn about staff satisfaction
