This week we add a new PDF to our tool box - the F-statistic. A major use of this PDF is the comparison of variances, but it is also the test statistic of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Even though ANOVA is comparing means of different groups, we use the F to test our hypotheses. So why do we do this?
In Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) the F value is a tool to assist you with addressing the inquiry about the variance between the methods for two populaces significantly different or not.
F-tests has been used by Analysis of variance (ANOVA) to statistically assess the equality of means when you have three or more groups.
The term F-test depends on the way that these tests utilize the F-measurement to test the hypotheses. The proportion of two variances is A F-statistics.
The proportion of the between group variability to the within group variability in one-way ANOVA follows a F-appropriation when null hypothesis is said to be true.
Since the F-distribution accept that the null hypothesis is true, you can put the value of F from your experiment in the F-distribution to decide how steady your outcomes are with the invalid speculation and to compute probabilities.
