What is an F-ratio? Define all the technical terms in your answer.
Answer: F ratio is the division of two variances from two independent samples. Usually, the formula is F=s12/s22 where s12 and s22 are two sample variances from two samples. And F-ratio is used to test the independence of two samples.
What is error variance and how is it calculated?
Answer: error variance is a measurement to show how far the actual data is far from the fitted data. Usually, the formula is error variance=total variance-systematic variance.
