F.DIST
Formulas / F.DISTCalculate the difference in diversity between two data sets.
F.DIST(X,deg_freedom1,deg_freedom2,cumulative)
- x - required argument
- deg_freedom1 - required argument, numerator degrees of freedom
- deg_freedom2 - required argument, denominator degrees of freedom
- cumulative - required argument
Examples
=F.DIST(1, 2, 5, FALSE)The F.DIST function can be used to calculate the cumulative probability of a given F-distribution, and example returns 0.308, which is the cumulative probability of the F-distribution with 1 degree of freedom in the numerator and 2 degrees of freedom in the denominator with a given random variable value of 5.
=F.DIST(1, 2, 5, TRUE)The F.DIST function can also be used to calculate the probability density function (PDF) of a given F-distribution. For example, this function returns 0.56879885, which is the PDF of the F-distribution with 1 degree of freedom in the numerator and 2 degrees of freedom in the denominator with a given random variable value of 5.
Summary
The F.DIST function is used to measure the difference between two data sets by calculating the F probability distribution. It is a useful tool for determining the level of diversity between two sets of data.
- The F.DIST function returns the F probability distribution and works with two sets of arguments.
- The first set of arguments determine what F.DIST evaluates.
