Which type of analysis determines whether there was a significant difference in the average donor solicitation amount between three nonprofit hospital events?
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)is used to compare the means of three or more groups to determine whether statistically significant differences exist. In data-driven decision making, ANOVA is appropriate when evaluating differences across multiple categories.
In this scenario, the analyst is comparing average donor solicitation amounts across three separate events. ANOVA tests whether at least one group mean differs from the others.
Cluster analysis groups data, time series examines trends over time, and logistic regression predicts categorical outcomes. Therefore, the correct answer isD, ANOVA.
