Try: Drag Group B points far from A and C - watch F grow and p shrink. Move all groups together - p climbs above 0.05. η² tells you how much variance is explained by group membership.
ANOVA Explorer - Interactive Visualization
ANOVA tests whether means differ across groups by comparing between-group variance to within-group variance. The F-statistic = MS_between/MS_within. When groups are truly different, between-group variance dominates. This visualization shows 3 groups as dot plots, decomposes variance in real time, and updates the F-statistic and p-value as you drag points.
