<h1>F.DIST Function</h1>
<p>The <b>F.DIST</b> function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the F probability distribution. You can use this function to determine whether two data sets have different degrees of diversity.</p>
<p>The <b>F.DIST</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>F.DIST(x, deg-freedom1, deg-freedom2, cumulative)</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>x</em></b> is the value at which the function should be calculated. A numeric value greater than 0</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>deg-freedom1</em></b> is the numerator degrees of freedom, a numeric value greater than 0.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>deg-freedom2</em></b> is denominator degrees of freedom, a numeric value greater than 0.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>cumulative</em></b> is a logical value (TRUE or FALSE) that determines the function form. If it is TRUE, the function returns the cumulative distribution function. If it is FALSE, the function returns the probability density function.</p>
<p>The values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.</p>
<p>To apply the <b>F.DIST</b> function,</p>

<br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu,
<br />or click the <img alt="Function icon" src="../images/function.png" /> icon situated at the formula bar,
</li>
<li>select the <b>Statistical</b> function group from the list,</li>
<li>click the <b>F.DIST</b> function,</li>
<li>enter the required arguments separating them by commas,</li>
<li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
</ol>
<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
