Calculate a one-way ANOVA F statistic from summary statistics for three independent groups.

How it works

Enter compatible statistical values. The calculator validates the inputs and applies F = MS_between / MS_within, where SS_between = Σnᵢ(x̄ᵢ−x̄)² and SS_within = Σ(nᵢ−1)sᵢ².

The formula

F = MS_between / MS_within, where SS_between = Σnᵢ(x̄ᵢ−x̄)² and SS_within = Σ(nᵢ−1)sᵢ²

Variables: n₁ = Sample size 1; x̄₁ = Mean 1; s₁ = Standard deviation 1; n₂ = Sample size 2; x̄₂ = Mean 2; s₂ = Standard deviation 2; n₃ = Sample size 3; x̄₃ = Mean 3; s₃ = Standard deviation 3.

Worked example

Example: For the default three-group summary statistics the calculator returns F≈8.9705 with df_between=2 and df_within=27.

Frequently asked questions

What is this Statistics calculator intended for?

It is an educational tool for descriptive and inferential statistical calculations from supplied values or summary statistics.

Does this calculator make a complete statistical decision?

No. Where a test statistic is calculated, the tool does not automatically replace study design, assumption checks, p-value interpretation, confidence intervals or subject-matter judgment.
