Question
Excel can be used to find the critical value for an F distribution for a given significance level. For example, to find the critical value (the value above which you would reject the null hypothesis) for ?=0.05?=0.05 with dfbetween=5dfbetween=5 and dfwithin=78dfwithin=78, enter
=FINV(0.05,5,78)
Enter this into Excel to confirm you obtain the value 2.332.
You conduct a one-factor ANOVA with 8 groups and 7 subjects in each group (a balanced design). Use Excel to find the critical values for ?=0.1?=0.1 and ?=0.02?=0.02 (report accurate to 3 decimal places).
F0.1=F0.1=
F0.02=F0.02=
Explanation / Answer
We have a one factor Anova with 8 groups and 7 subjects in each group.
K=8
N=8*7 = 56
dfbetween=K-1=7
dfwithin=N-K = 56-8 = 48
F0.1 = FINV(0.1,7,48)=1.846
F0.02 =FINV(0.02,7,48)=2.679
