Data Handling
=============

ANOVA.DOC is a handout given to students taking our 1st year Data Handling
module.  The exercise invloves using Excel to process data from a food
analysis laboratory.  It could easily be adapted for use with any other
spreadsheet program on any other computer system.

The students test the mean measurement of monounsaturated fat content of
a margarine against the value stated on the manufacturer's packaging.

They also use ANOVA to verify that the four techncians are producing
mean values which are consistent with each other.  ANOVA is also
applied to determine whether different batches of margarine have different
monounsaturated fat content.

Students must put together their own spreadsheets and word process a
report.


You are entirely welcome to use this material in any way you see fit but
