Several factors influence the size of the F-ratio. For each of the following, indicate whether it would influence the numerator or the denominator of the F-ratio, and indicate whether the size of the F-ratio would increase or decrease. a. Increase the differences between the sample means. b. Increase the sample variances.

(a) Increase the differences between the sample means this will increase the Numerator.

(b) Increase the sample variances will increase the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:  

F Ratio = Variance between treatments/ Variance within treatments.  

Here,  

(a) Increase the differences between the sample means:  

  - Will increase the Numerator and  

  - Size of the F-ratio would increase  

(b) Increase the sample variances:  

 - Will increase the denominator and  

 - Size of the F Ratio would decrease.
