The main purpose of ANOVA in bivariate regression is to analyze the variance in the data and determine if the straight-line model fits the data we are analyzing. Choice A is incorrect because ANOVA is used to compare means, but specifically in the context of determining if the straight-line model is a good fit. Choice B is incorrect because ANOVA is not an issue, but rather a statistical tool used in analysis. Choice D is incorrect because ANOVA does not provide a frequency table, but rather assesses the fit of the model. Choice E is incorrect because ANOVA is indeed used in bivariate regression.
