A "Begin" button will appear on the left when the applet is finished
loading. This may take a minute or two depending on the speed of your internet
connection and computer. Please be patient. If no begin button appears, it is
probably because your browser does not support Java 1.1. Click here

This applet illustrates many features of a two-factor
analysis of variance. The window that appears after you press the "Begin"
button allows you to specify the MSE, the cell means for a 2 x 3 design, and
the sample size. The ANOVA summary table is displayed in the lower-left-hand
portion of the window. The right side of the window shows a figure of means
and a Venn diagram showing how the sum of squares total is divided among SSA,
SSB, SSAxB, and SSE.
You can change the means by entering values in the table or by dragging points in the figure.
