Bonferroni Procedure
The Bonferroni procedure is a specific modified -test technique used by researchers to conduct post hoc comparisons. It is designed to safely compare pairs of group means following a statistically significant one-way ANOVA while keeping the overall risk of making a Type I error (mistakenly rejecting a true null hypothesis) to an acceptable level, typically close to , across all the multiple comparisons being made.

Why do researchers use modified t-test procedures, such as the Bonferroni procedure or Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test, rather than standard t-tests when conducting post hoc comparisons?
If a researcher decides to use standard t-tests rather than modified t-test procedures for multiple post hoc comparisons, they will successfully keep their overall risk of mistakenly rejecting a true null hypothesis at an acceptable level.
