Answer 1

ANOVA: I am interested in sales revenue of my 4 identical hotels located across the country There is one factor that is sales, there are several groups like hotels 1 to 4 in four different locations. The locations are the levels of the factor that I need to compare the means of the all the four hotels and understand if they are same or not. Then I will use one way analysis of variance The dependent variable is the name of the hotel, for example hotel1, hotel2, ,. The independent or the reponse variable is the sales revenue. Here the levels are the four locations, so k-4 mean there are four hotels at four different levels, here locations Null hypothesis: there are no differences in the sales revenues (population means) among four hotels across four locations: Alternative hypothesis that not all the mean sales revenues are equal or there is atleast that is different Hi Not all μ, are equal(where J-(1,2.4))
