When would you use ANOVA versus a t-test?

The Student’s t test is used to compare the means between two groups, whereas ANOVA is used to compare the means among three or more groups.

What is the main difference between a t-test and an ANOVA?

The t-test is a method that determines whether two populations are statistically different from each other, whereas ANOVA determines whether three or more populations are statistically different from each other.

Should I use t-test or Pearson correlation?

When using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, the two vari- ables in question must be continuous, not categorical. The t-test is used to test whether there is a difference between two groups on a continuous dependent variable.

Can I use t-test instead of ANOVA?

There is a thin line of demarcation amidst t-test and ANOVA, i.e. when the population means of only two groups is to be compared, the t-test is used, but when means of more than two groups are to be compared, ANOVA is preferred.

Why would you use ANOVA when you could just run many sets of t-tests?

Why not compare groups with multiple t-tests? Every time you conduct a t-test there is a chance that you will make a Type I error. An ANOVA controls for these errors so that the Type I error remains at 5\% and you can be more confident that any statistically significant result you find is not just running lots of tests.

Why ANOVA test is used?

When might you use ANOVA? You would use ANOVA to help you understand how your different groups respond, with a null hypothesis for the test that the means of the different groups are equal. If there is a statistically significant result, then it means that the two populations are unequal (or different).

What is a t-test used for?

A t-test is a type of inferential statistic used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups, which may be related in certain features. The t-test is one of many tests used for the purpose of hypothesis testing in statistics. Calculating a t-test requires three key data values.

Is correlation and t-test the same?

A t-test is a hypothesis test for the difference in means of a single variable. A correlation test is a hypothesis test for a relationship between two variables.

Why we use ANOVA test in statistics?

You would use ANOVA to help you understand how your different groups respond, with a null hypothesis for the test that the means of the different groups are equal. If there is a statistically significant result, then it means that the two populations are unequal (or different).
