ANOVA solving steps from SPSS

The ANOVA test is a parametric test, which assumes: 1. Population Normality Data is numerical data representing samples from normally distributed populations. 2. Homogeneity of Variance The variances of the groups are similar 3. The size of the groups is similar. 4. The group should be independent. Consider the following example: Vijender Gupta wants to compare the scores of CBSE students from four metro cities of India i.e. Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai. He obtained 20 particular scores based on random sampling from metros cities, collecting 100 responses. Also mote that, this is independent design, since the respondents are from different cities. He made following hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: There is no significant difference in scores from different metro cities of India. Alternate Hypotheses: There is significant difference in scores from different metro cities of India. Make the variable view of data table as shown below:

Enter the following values: 1 400.00 1 450.00 1 499.00 1 480.00 1 494.00 1 300.00 1 350.00 1 356.00 1 269.00 1 298.00 1 299.00 1 599.00 1 466.00 1 591.00 1 502.00 1 598.00 1 548.00 1 459.00 1 489.00 1 499.00 2 389.00 2 398.00 2 399.00 2 599.00 2 598.00
