were randomly and independently chosen from the populations‚ population distributions are normal for each group; and population variances are equal for all groups. The assumptions of ANOVA are identical to the t-test and the calculated statistic is called an F-value which has a probability value associated with it. As with the t-test‚ if our probability value is less than 0.05 we reject our null hypothesis (in this case that there is no difference among the treatment groups). This p-value

independent observations by the number of observations in the group that represent one of two outcomes. For example‚ the proportion of individuals in a random sample who support one of two political candidates fits this description. In this case‚ the statistic is thecount X of voters who support the candidate divided by the total number of individuals in the group n. This provides an estimate of the parameter p‚ the proportion of individuals who support the candidate in the entire population. The binomial

Certain crimes are more prevalent than others‚ depending on the area. Many factors such as the population‚ ethnicity‚ and inequality between a group of individuals may contribute to the conflict perspective on crime rates. Crime rate can either increase or decrease on the scale. Therefore‚ even the number of crimes which are reported by the media‚ do not show competency and thus deemed inaccurate. According to Highfield (2014) "Those numbers‚ however‚ are not entirely accurate" (par. 2).
