Figure 3: The five dimensions of e‐Government score, for rural and urban areas
In order to find out if the villages, the small, the medium and big cities are scoring differently as groups, we have applied an ANOVA test. P‐value was almost zero which indicated that there are differences between the average scores obtained by each group.
