Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total sum of squares minus the within-group sum of squares is equal to the between-groups sum of squares. This value measures the variability between the group means and is used to compute the F-ratio (F-statistic), which is used to test for the significance of group differences in an ANOVA. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
