F.DIST

Calculates the left-tailed F probability distribution (degree of diversity) for two data sets with given input x. Alternately called Fisher-Snedecor distribution or Snedecor's F distribution.

Sample Usage

F.DIST(15.35, 7, 6, TRUE)

F.DIST(A2, B2, C2, FALSE)

Syntax

F.DIST(x, degrees_freedom1, degrees_freedom2, cumulative)

  • x - The input to the F probability distribution function. The value at which to evaluate the function.

    • Must be a positive number.

  • degrees_freedom1 - The numerator degrees of freedom.

  • degrees_freedom2 - The denominator degrees of freedom.

  • cumulative - Logical value that determines the form of the function. Default value is FALSE.

    • If TRUE: F.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function.

    • If FALSE: F.DIST returns the probability density function. 

Notes

  • Both degrees_freedom1 and degrees_freedom2 are truncated to an integer in the calculation if a non-integer is provided as an argument.

  • Both degrees_freedom1 and degrees_freedom2 must be greater than 1 and may not exceed 10^10.

  • x, degrees_freedom1, and degrees_freedom2 must be numeric.
