...from this I can read the within-group variance. can anyone tell me
how i may find
out the between-group variance?
But it's in the table, above the "within-group" variance. Remember that F
is the ratio of these two quantities, i.e. the mean of the group variances
divided by the mean of the within-group variances . I will work with my
example since you never set seed so your answers are different from mine
(which really does not help matters).
set.seed(7)
TDat <- data.frame(response = c(rnorm(100, 5, 2), rnorm(100, 20, 2)))
TDat$group <- gl(2, 100, labels=c("A","B"))
summary(aov(response ~ group, data=TDat))
11225.25/3.64
[1] 3083.86
There is some rounding error on the mean squares (i.e. mean variances) but
F is correct. Using estimates calculated by a different route we have:
11225.249057/3.639801
[1] 3084.028
Does this answer your question?

I have done this in R and this is the following ANOVA table I get:
summary(aov(response ~ group, data=TDat))
Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F)
group 1 11203.5 11203.5 2505.0 < 2.2e-16 ***
Residuals 198 885.5 4.5
The model is response(i,j)= group(i)+ error(i,j),
we assume that group~N(0,P^2) and error~N(0,sigma^2)
I know that sigma^2 is equal to 4.5, how do I find out P^2?
In the problem that I am trying to apply this to, I have more than 2
groups. I was hoping there would be a function that helps you do this
that I don't know about.
Thanks for your help Emma

R gives you the tools to work this out.
## Example
set.seed(7)
TDat <- data.frame(response = c(rnorm(100, 5, 2), rnorm(100, 20, 2)))
TDat$group <- gl(2, 100, labels=c("A","B"))
with(TDat, boxplot(split(response, group)))
summary(aov(response ~ group, data=TDat))
