E ( MSTR) = σ +
r −1 > σ 2 when the null hypothesis is false
where µ i is the mean of population i and µ is the combined mean of all r populations.
That is, the expected mean square error (MSE) is simply the common population variance
(remember the assumption of equal population variances), but the expected treatment sum of
squares (MSTR) is the common population variance plus a term related to the variation of the
individual population means around the grand population mean.
If the null hypothesis is true so that the population means are all equal, the second term in
the E(MSTR) formulation is zero, and E(MSTR) is equal to the common population variance.
9- 22
When the null hypothesis of ANOVA is true and all r population means are
equal, MSTR and MSE are two independent, unbiased estimators of the
common population variance σ 2.

Club Med has conducted a test to determine whether its Caribbean resorts are equally well liked by
vacationing club members. The analysis was based on a survey questionnaire (general satisfaction,
on a scale from 0 to 100) filled out by a random sample of 40 respondents from each of 5 resorts.
