Introduction to ANOVA Analysis - Assignment Example

One issue I would like to explore is about individuals eating fast foods based on their age. It has been alleged that younger members of society, especially from both developed and developing countries do not have time to engage in eating healthy. Due to their tight schedules as students or young professionals, they tend to consume fast food to save time and to socialize.

From this idea, the independent variable would be the respondent's age. This can be explained by the fact that one's age should dictate fast food consumption. Similarly, the dependent variable will be the frequency of fast food consumption. After running the analysis, I expect to find out that there is a significant difference in the mean number of times respondents consume fast food at the different level of age, (F=4. 962, P=0. 000). Similarly, I expect that the Tukey post hoc test will show that younger individuals probably less than 25 years old will have a significantly higher mean number of times they eat fast food (Mean=10.66) when compared to older respondents over 30 years (Mean=6.64).
