Name
FDIST
Synopsis
Use FDIST to find the probabilities associated with the F probability distribution.
To Calculate
=FDIST(X,Degrees_Freedom1,Degrees_Freedom2)
All arguments are required for this function.
-
X Specifies a positive numeric value that should be used to evaluate the function.
-
Degrees_Freedom1 Specifies a numeric value between 1 and 1,000,000,000 that indicates the degrees of freedom for the first data set. This argument is used as the numerator value.
-
Degrees_Freedom2 Specifies a numeric value between 1 and 1,000,000,000 that indicates the degrees of freedom for the second data set. This argument is used as the denominator value.
Example
Figure 15-13 illustrates how FDIST is used to
determine the probability value. You will notice that the value
returned by FINV is fairly close to the initial
X value of FDIST.
Figure 15-13. FINV returns a value that matches the initial X value specified for FDIST
