In the analysis of variance, MS_Groups measures how different group means are, and MS_error measures variability within each group. If the null hypothesis were false, what would we expect to find? A) That MS_groups and MS_error would be roughly equal. B) That MS_groups would be larger than MS_error. C) That MS_error is larger than MS_groups. D) That MS_error is close to zero.
