Table 9a Upper Critical Values of the F Distribution

0 F 1, 2 ,

For probabilities a = 0.5 and a = .01, the tables show the values Fn1,n2,a such that P1 Fn1,n2 7 Fn1,n2,a 2 = a, where Fn1,n2 is an F random variable,
with numerator degrees of freedom n1 and denominator degrees of freedom n2. For example, the probability is .05 that an F3,7 random vari-
ables exceeds 4.347.
