If the independent variable has no effect, the variation between the groups should be similar to the variation within the groups, resulting in a small F statistic close to 1.00. Thus, MSA should be nearly equal to MSError, and the F statistic should be about 1.00.

If the Independent Variable Has No Effect, Then MSA Should
