The F ratio is defined as the "mean square between" divided by the "mean square within," which represents the variability between groups and within groups, respectively. It is used to test the significance of the differences between group means in ANOVA. SST - SSB and the "mean square within" minus the "mean square between" are not correct statements about the F ratio. The total variance divided by the mean square between is not equivalent to the F ratio formula.
