Question

Sir Ronald Fisher's F-distribution is used in many statistical tests. Which one of the following uses the F-distribution for their test statistic?
a. To compare several population means simultaneously
b. Comparison of samples to see if they came from populations with the same proportions.
c. Test of two samples to see if they are from populations with the same median

Answer 1

The one which uses Sir Ronald Fisher's F-distribution for the test statistic is to compare several population means simultaneously.

What is the F-distribution?

The F-distribution was developed by Sir Ronald Fisher to study the behavior of two variances from random samples taken from two independent normal populations. The F-distribution allows us to use a F statistic to compare two populations.

The F-distribution is also known as a right-skewed distribution used commonly in another statistical test called an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). For ANOVA tests we can use the F-distribution to check whether the variance among the means of two populations significantly differ. The F-distribution can also be used in regression analysis to compare the fit of different models.
