Enter the sum of squares between groups and the degrees of freedom into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Mean Sum of Squares Between Groups. 

Mean Sum of Squares Between Groups Formula

MSB = SSB / DF

Variables:

  • MSB is the Mean Sum of Squares Between Groups ()
  • SSB is the sum of squares between groups
  • DF is the degrees of freedom

To calculate the Mean Sum of Squares Between Groups, divide the sum of squares between groups by the degrees of freedom.

How to Calculate the Mean Sum of Squares Between Groups?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Mean Sum of Squares Between Groups.


  1. First, determine the sum of squares between groups. 
  2. Next, determine the degrees of freedom. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = MSB = SSB / DF.
  4. Finally, calculate the Mean Sum of Squares Between Groups.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
