However, by analyzing the variation in the data within the group levels and between the groups, we can determine if the group means are statistically different.
In a sense, the name "Analysis of Variance" is a misnomer, because we are interested in comparing the means of the groups. When the measurements across the groups are continuous and certain other assumptions are met, we use ANOVA to compare the means of the groups. In statistical terms, we consider a factor- let us say catalyst type- and we want to understand if the levels of that factor- let us say catalyst 1, catalyst 2, catalyst 3 and catalyst 4 - are statistically significantly different from one another.
Many industrial applications involve experiments where the goal is the understand if groups are different. With all that time dedicated to the sciences, if you did not spend as much time on statistics as you wish you did, have no fear, Minitab is here! Now, let's talk about why Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) can be a chemical engineer's secret weapon. Unlike other engineers, that means you may need to apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. Generally speaking, if you are a chemical engineer, you are probably developing and designing chemical manufacturing processes.
