FDIST
The FDIST function returns the F probability distribution.
FDIST(non-neg-x-value, d-f-numerator, d-f-denominator)
 non-neg-x-value: The value at which you want to evaluate the function. non-neg-x-
value is a number value that must be greater than or equal to 0.
 d-f-numerator: The degrees of freedom to include as the numerator. d-f-numerator
is a number value and must be greater than or equal to 1. If there is a decimal
portion, it is ignored.
 d-f-denominator: The degrees of freedom to include as the denominator. d-f-
denominator is a number value and must be greater than or equal to 1. If there is a
decimal portion, it is ignored.
Usage Notes
The F distribution is also known as Snedecor’s F distribution or the Fisher-Snedecor Â
distribution.
Examples
