Are more children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in States that have urban areas over States that are mostly rural? In an urban State, there were are 300 3rd grade students diagnosed with ASD out of 18,500 3rd graders tested. In a rural state, there were 55 3rd grade students diagnosed with ASD out of 2,300 3rd graders tested. Is there enough evidence to show that the proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in an urban State is more than the proportion in a rural State? Test at the = 1% level.

Bottom line: Is there a significant difference between the mean "time to take effect" for these two medications and if so, which medication is significantly faster.
MOVING ON TO ANOVA (Analysis of Variance)
We have just finished comparing the means of TWO data sets to determine if there is a significant difference between them. We have used the z-Test (proportions) and the t-Test to do this.
We FINALLY find a use for the VARIANCE!
We haven't used the variance very much in this course, just its square root, the standard deviation.
There is a LOT of squaring (and maybe swearing) in ANOVA calculations and if you recall from your Week 1 exercise in calculating variance, we squared distances to make any negative ones, positive. This is what we are essentially doing here, but in multiple dimensions.
We are basically comparing the Means and Variances of multiple populations (three or more) to see if ANY are significantly different from the others. (see the Additional Guidance attachment for assistance.) It will NOT tell us which population is different, however.

The 5 groups involved have DIFFERENT numbers of samples (n), but they are relatively close, so I used the AVERAGE "n" and got an F-Test close to the text value. This is NOT technically the official way to calculate F, but the official way is quite complex for an introductory overview)
