Determine the upper tail critical values of F in each of the following two-tailed tests:
a. The critical value of F when α = 0.005, n1 = 16, and n2 = 10 is
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
b. The critical value of F when α = 0.05, n1=16, and n2 = 10 is
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
SOLUTION
a.)
Given :
where df1 = 1st degrees of freedom = n1 - 1 = 16-1 = 15
and df2 = 2nd degrees of freedom = n2 - 2 = 10 - 1 = 9
and
-------------------------------- Calculate using F table
The upper tail crictical value of F when is equal to 6.03
b.)
Given :
where df1 = 1st degrees of freedom = n1 - 1 = 16-1 = 15
and df2 = 2nd degrees of freedom = n2 - 2 = 10 - 1 = 9
and
---------------------------------- Calculated using F table
The upper tail crictical value of F when is equal to 3.01
