B) variance is a singular term implying looking at one group, whereas ANOVA takes multiple groups into is analysis.
C) it is not an analysis of the difference between the standard deviations of groups but of the differences between the averages of groups.
D) analysis implies that results are absolute, without error, and there is always some measureable error in statistical analysis.
E) analysis implies practical as well as statistical significance.
