Test for Main Effect of Factor A
H 0 : No difference among the a mean levels of factor A (
µ A 1 = µ A 2 = ... =
µ Aa )
H a : At least two factor A mean levels differ
Test for Main Effect of Factor B
H 0 : No difference among the a mean levels of factor B (
µ B 1 = µ B 2 = ... =
µ Ba )
H a : At least two factor B mean levels differ
Test for Main Effect of Factor A
Factor B Interaction
H 0 : Factor A and factor B do not interact in the response mean
H a : Factor A and factor B interact in the response mean
