Definitions:

Groups Examined

The specific categories or collections of data that are analyzed in a study to observe differences, effects, or outcomes.

Obtained Value

The real outcome or result attained through a statistical examination or experiment.

Within-groups Df

Degrees of freedom within groups in an analysis of variance (ANOVA), related to the variability of observations within each group.

Between-groups Df

Degrees of freedom associated with the variance between the groups in an ANOVA test, useful in determining the variability attributable to the difference between groups.
