The document provides tables of critical values of the F distribution for different probabilities and degrees of freedom. It explains how to use the tables to determine if an obtained F-ratio is statistically significant based on the critical values for a given probability and degrees of freedom.

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.
