F - Distribution Tables

The F distributions are a family of distributions with two parameters, the degrees of freedom of the sample variances in the numerator and denominator of the F statistic. The numerator degrees of freedom are always given first. The F distributions are not symmetric but are right skewed. The density curve figure illustrates the shape. Because sample variances cannot be negative, the F statistic takes only positive values and the F distribution has no probability below zero.The peak of the F density curve is near one; values far from one in either direction provide evidence against the hypothesis of equal standard deviations.
