In a repeated-measures analysis of variance,how does the magnitude of the mean differences from one treatment to another contribute to the F-ratio?
A)The mean differences add to the numerator of the F-ratio.
B)The mean differences add to the denominator of the F-ratio.
C)The mean differences add to both the numerator and the denominator of the F-ratio.
D)The sample mean differences do not influence the F-ratio.

The mean differences between treatments are calculated as the deviation of each treatment mean from the overall mean. These deviations contribute to the numerator of the F-ratio, which compares the between-treatments variance to the within-subjects variance. Therefore, the magnitude of the mean differences has a direct impact on the F-ratio.
