The ratio of the between-groups variance estimate to the within-groups variance estimate is indicated by
a. the F value.
b. the degrees of freedom.
c. the sum of squares.
d. eta.
Question 2

b. the group means are from the same population.
c. the null hypothesis that the differences between the groups are due only to chance can be rejected.
d. there was an error in the calculation.
