The present research compares the ANOVA F-test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the normal scores test in terms of empirical alpha and empirical power with samples from the normal distribution and two exponential distributions. Empirical evidence supports the use of the ANOVA F-test even under violation of assumptions when testing hypotheses about means. If the researcher is willing to test hypotheses about medians, the Kruskal-Wallis test was found to be competitive to the F-test. However, in the cases investigated, the normal scores test was not consistently better than the F-test or the Kruskal-Wallis test and could not be recommended on the basis of this research.
