F.INV

The F.INV function in Google Sheets calculates the inverse of the left-tailed F probability distribution. It is also known as the Fisher-Snedecor distribution or Snedecor’s F distribution.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: F.INV(probability, degrees_freedom1, degrees_freedom2)

Parameters:

• probability: The probability at which to evaluate the inverse cumulative distribution.
• degrees_freedom1: The numerator degrees of freedom.
• degrees_freedom2: The denominator degrees of freedom.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Using F.INV to find the inverse cumulative distribution:
   • Example: =F.INV(0.05, 5, 10)
   • Result: The result will be the value at which the cumulative F distribution with numerator degrees of freedom 5 and denominator degrees of freedom 10 is equal to 0.05.

Use Cases and Scenarios

1. Statistical Analysis: Obtain critical values for hypothesis testing in analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis.
2. Quality Control: Determine tolerance limits and process control limits.
