Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The hypotheses for ANOVA: Null hypothesis: All three treatments are the same i.e. the means for all three treatments are equal. Alternative hypothesis: At least one of the three means is different than the other two means.
Detailed explanation-2: -The F-ratio uses variance because ANOVA can have many samples of data, not just two as in T-Tests. Using the variance lets us look at the differences that exist between all of the many samples.
