In one-way ANOVA, the sum of the squared deviations of each individual sample observation (regardless of the sample to which it belongs) from the mean of all observations is called:

A) the F statistic
B) the total sum of squares
C) the grand mean
D) the unexplained variance
E) the F statistic and the total sum of squares

Squared Deviations

The squares of the differences between each observation in a dataset and the mean of that dataset, used in statistical analyses to measure variability.

Grand Mean

The overall mean calculated from multiple sets of observations or groups.

Total Sum

The aggregate or combined total of all the values in a set of numbers.
