Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An F distribution depends on two sets of degrees of freedom, typically used in ANOVA (analysis of variance) to test for differences between groups or treatments. In contrast, a t distribution is used for testing hypotheses about a single population mean, while a z distribution assumes a known population standard deviation. A chi-square distribution is used for testing goodness of fit or independence in categorical data. A p distribution is not a commonly used distribution in statistical analysis.
