The F-statistic in ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) helps us determine if there are significant differences between the means of three or more groups. A higher F-statistic value suggests that at least one group mean is different from the others, indicating that the independent variable has an effect on the dependent variable.
The F-statistic in ANOVA measures the ratio of the variance between group means to the variance within the groups. It helps determine whether the differences among group means are statistically significant. A higher F-statistic indicates a greater likelihood that at least one group mean differs from the others, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Essentially, it helps assess the overall effectiveness of the model in explaining variability in the data.
