1.

The Anova Method is a Parametric Approach while the Kruskal-walls method is a non-
parametric approach.
2. If the data is Skewed then anova method is a good approach to use compared to Kruskal-
walls method.
3. The Anova method is a test of equality of means of values whereas Kruskal -walls
method is a comparison of ranks.
 Example for Kruskal Wallis - you want to find out how socioeconomic status
affects attitude towards sales tax increases. Your independent variable is
“socioeconomic status” with three levels: working class, middle class and
wealthy. The dependent variable is measured on a 5-point Likert scale from
strongly agree to strongly disagree.
 Example for anova- You have a group of individuals randomly split into smaller
groups and completing different tasks and you want to study the effects of tea on
weight loss and form three groups: green tea, black tea, and no tea.
