A t-test is useful to find out whether there is a significant difference between two groups. However, a t-test cannot be used to compare between three or more independent groups.

For example, if you are a product developer, you might want to know whether the change in the percentage of cotton used in the synthetic fiber will result in an increase in the tensile strength of the fiber.

To find out, you can conduct a completely randomized experiment with five levels of cotton content and replicate the experiment five times representing five trials. …
