Tukey Studentized Range (q) Table

Critical values of the studentized range q for Tukey’s HSD post-hoc comparisons.

How to use this table

Use this after a significant ANOVA, to find which pairs of means actually differ. Choose the α block, then read the error degrees of freedom down the side and the number of means being compared across the top. Example: 4 groups with 20 error d.f. at α = 0.05 → 3.96. Multiply by √(MSwithin/n) to get the honestly significant difference.

Four α levels including 0.025, and error d.f. on my own ladder out to 240.

How these values were produced

Studentized range distribution (SciPy 1.17). Tabulated by Harter (1960), Ann. Math. Statist. 31(4), 1122–1147.

Every one of these 2,432 values was computed from the underlying distribution — none was transcribed from a printed table. Values of this kind are mathematical facts: they come out the same for anyone who computes them correctly.

Need the test run rather than the critical value looked up? The Proof Workbench computes t, r, χ² and ANOVA in your browser with assumption checks and a re-verifiable receipt.
