F Test Formula
A test statistic which has an F-distribution under the null hypothesis is called an F test. It is used to compare statistical models as per the data set provided or available. George W. Snedecor, in honour of Sir Ronald A. Fisher, termed this formula as F-test Formula.
\[\LARGE F \; Value \; = \; \frac{Variance \; of \;set \; 1}{Variance \; of \; set \; 2} = \frac{\sigma _{1}^{2}}{\sigma _{2}^{2}}\]
To compare the variance of two different sets of values, the F test formula is used. To be applied to F distribution under the null hypothesis, we first need to find out the mean of two given observations and then calculate their variance.
\[\LARGE \sigma^{2}\; = \; \frac{\sum (x – \overline{x})^{2}}{n-1}\]
Where,
σ2 = Variance
x = Values given in a set of data
n = Total number of values
