WorksheetFunction.F_Dist_RT(Double, Double, Double) Method

Definition

Returns the right-tailed F probability distribution. You can use this function to determine whether two data sets have different degrees of diversity. For example, you can examine the test scores of men and women entering high school and determine if the variability in the females is different from that found in the males.

public:
 double F_Dist_RT(double Arg1, double Arg2, double Arg3);
public double F_Dist_RT (double Arg1, double Arg2, double Arg3);
Public Function F_Dist_RT (Arg1 As Double, Arg2 As Double, Arg3 As Double) As Double

Parameters

Arg1
Double

X - the value at which to evaluate the function.

Arg2
Double

Degrees_freedom1 - the numerator degrees of freedom.

Arg3
Double

Degrees_freedom2 - the denominator degrees of freedom.

Returns

Remarks

If any argument is nonnumeric, F_Dist_RT returns the #VALUE! error value.

If x is negative, F_Dist_RT returns the #NUM! error value.

If degrees_freedom1 or degrees_freedom2 is not an integer, it is truncated.

If degrees_freedom1 < 1 or degrees_freedom1 ≥ 10^10, F_Dist_RT returns the #NUM! error value.

If degrees_freedom2 < 1 or degrees_freedom2 ≥ 10^10, F_Dist_RT returns the #NUM! error value.

F_Dist_RT is calculated as F_DIST_RT=P( F>x ), where F is a random variable that has an F distribution with degrees_freedom1 and degrees_freedom2 degrees of freedom.
