The document provides tables of critical values of F at significance levels of 0.05 and 0.01 for use in analysis of variance testing. It explains how to use the tables to determine if an obtained F ratio is statistically significant based on its degrees of freedom and by comparing it to the critical value at the corresponding point in the tables.

Table of critical values for the F distribution (for use with ANOVA):
How to use this table:
There are two tables here. The first one gives critical values of F at the p = 0.05 level of significance. The second table gives critical values of F at the p = 0.01 level of significance. 1. Obtain your F-ratio. This has (x,y) degrees of freedom associated with it. 2. Go along x columns, and down y rows. The point of intersection is your critical F-ratio. 3. If your obtained value of F is equal to or larger than this critical F-value, then your result is significant at that level of probability. An example: I obtain an F ratio of 3.96 with (2, 24) degrees of freedom. I go along 2 columns and down 24 rows. The critical value of F is 3.40. My obtained F-ratio is larger than this, and so I conclude that my obtained F-ratio is likely to occur by chance with a p<.05.
