Best Answer

When testing the sums of squares of variables which are independently identically distributed as normal variables. One of the main uses of the F-test is for testing for the significance of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) or of covariance.

Does standard deviation effect the alpha level?

Yes.For some tests, such as the Fisher F-test, the test statistic is an estimate of the variance. If the alpha level was not affected, the test would be no use at all!Yes.For some tests, such as the Fisher F-test, the test statistic is an estimate of the variance.

How do you use the F Test to find the sample size for two sets of data?

The data sets determine the degrees of freedom for the F-test, nit the other way around!


Can an F Test be negative?

No The test statistic F-Test is a sum of squares, which by definition of squaring a number it must be positive.


When comparing two variances or standard deviations is an f-test is used?

An F-test can be used for variances.


What is F ratio?

Computing F-ratioThe F-ratio is used to determine whether the variances in two independent samples are equal. If the F-ratio is not statistically significant, you may assume there is homogeneity of variance and employ the standard t-test for the difference of means. If the F-ratio is statistically significant, use an alternative t-test computation such as the Cochran and Cox method.


What if you get a F on a test but then you get a B on a test and an A on a project what will be my overall grade?

The F is important. It is difficult to tell you what you will get. Ask you teacher.

Is there such a thing as an F plus?

There is no such grade as F minus. When someone gets an F on a test or their report card, they have failed the test or class, and they cannot get any lower than this failure.
