    9.3 The F-Distribution and the F-Ratio

    \[M S_{\text {Between }}=\frac{S S_{\text {Between }}}{d f_{\text {Between }}}=\frac{n_{1}\left(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}\right)^{2}+\cdots+n_{g}\left(\bar{x}_{g}-\bar{x}\right)^{2}}{g-1}\nonumber\]

    \[M S_{\text {Within }}=\frac{S S_{\text {Within }}}{d f_{\text {Within }}}=\frac{\left(n_{1}-1\right) s_{1}^{2}+\cdots+\left(n_{g}-1\right) s_{g}^{2}}{n-g}\nonumber\]

    \[F_{obs}=\frac{M S_{\text { between }}}{M S_{\text { within }}}\nonumber\]

    • \(n_g\) = the size of the gth group
    • \(\bar{x}_g\) = the mean of the values in the gth group
    • \(\bar{x}\) = the total mean of all observations
    • \(g\) = the number of groups
    • \(n\) = the total number of observations combined
    • \(s_g^2\) = the variance of the values in the gth group
