Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The F distribution is a mathematically defined curve that is used as the comparison distribution in ANOVA. It is used to determine whether there are significant differences between the means of two or more groups. The F distribution is similar to the normal distribution in shape, but it is skewed to the right and has a range of values greater than 1. The chi-square and T distributions are used in other statistical tests, but not in ANOVA.
