The 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.

In analysis of variance the magnitude of the mean differences from one treatment to another will contribute to the numerator of the f-ratio the denominator of the f-ratio both neither?
the numerator of the F-ratio
Is the f distribution negatively skewed?
In general the distribution of F-ratio means what
Possible to obtain a negative value for an F-ratio?
no.
Why do you keep the larger of the two variances in the numerator while calculating f distribution variance ratio?
Off the top of my head, a perfect F-ratio would be 1.00 which is never possible. All F-ratios will be greater than one so the numerator has to be greater than denominator.
What is a difference between F statistics F distribution?
An F-statistic is a measure that is calculated from a sample. It is a ratio of two lots of sums of squares of Normal variates. The sampling distribution of this ratio follows the F distribution. The F-statistic is used to test whether the variances of two samples, or a sample and population, are the same. It is also used in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine what proportion of the variance can be "explained" by regression.
