Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In ANOVA, the two estimates of population variance are called mean square estimates. These are calculated as the sum of squares divided by their respective degrees of freedom, i.e., the within-group mean square estimate and the total mean square estimate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, the mean square estimates.
