Final answer:

The level of measurement for the dependent variable in ANOVA is interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using ANOVA in the test statistic, the level of measurement for the dependent variable is interval. Interval scale data has a definite ordering and the differences between data can be measured, although there is no starting point. ANOVA compares the means of a response variable for several groups and uses the F statistic from an F distribution to determine if there are significant differences among the group means.
