F.DIST.RT function - The function returns the right probability distribution F for 2 data sets in Excel

The following article introduces you to the F.DIST.RT function - one of the functions in the statistical function group is very popular in Excel.

Description: The function returns the right probability distribution F for 2 data sets. Support function from Excel 2010 version.

Syntax: F.DIST (x, deg_freedom1, deg_freedom2)

Inside:

- x: The value of the function, is a required parameter.

- deg_freedom1: The degree of freedom in the numerator, is a required parameter.

- deg_freedom2: The degrees of freedom in the denominator, are required parameters.

Attention:

- If any parameters are not numeric -> the function returns the #VALUE! Error value .

- If x <0 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

- If deg_freedom1 , deg_freedom2 are not whole numbers -> they are truncated to integers.

- If deg_freedom1 <1 or deg_freedom2 <1 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

- The F.DIST.RT function is calculated as F.DIST.RT = P (F> x) where F is a random variable.

For example:

Calculate the right probability distribution F according to the data in the following data table:

- In the cell to calculate enter the formula : = F.DIST.RT (D6, D7, D8)

- Press Enter -> probability of distribution F is:

- Where the function value is less than 0 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

- If the number of degrees of freedom in the numerator and sample is less than 1 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

Above are instructions and some specific examples when using F.DIST.RT function in Excel.

Good luck!
