What is the critical f-value when the sample size for the numerator is six and the sample size for the denominator is five? use a two-tailed test and the 0.10 significance level

Respuesta :

The critical f-value using two tailed test is [tex]F_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }=6.26[/tex] and [tex]F_{(1-\frac{\alpha }{2} )}=0.19[/tex].

In this question,

The sample size for the numerator = 6

The sample size for the denominator = 5

The significance level is α = 0.10

For two tailed test, α/2 = 0.05

For [tex]F_{(1-\frac{\alpha }{2} )}=0.95[/tex]

The degrees of freedom of numerator is

[tex]df_{num} = 6-1[/tex]

⇒ 5

The degrees of freedom of denominator is

[tex]df_{denom} = 5-1[/tex]

⇒ 4

Now consider the f-distribution table and find the value that corresponds to the degrees of freedom of numerator 5 and the degrees of freedom of denominator 4.

For two tailed test, the corresponding upper critical f-value is

⇒ [tex]F_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }=6.26[/tex]

Now, the corresponding lower critical f-value is

⇒ [tex]F_{(1-\frac{\alpha }{2} )}=0.19[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the critical f-value using two tailed test is [tex]F_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }=6.26[/tex] and [tex]F_{(1-\frac{\alpha }{2} )}=0.19[/tex].
