F Distribution CalculatorStatLens

F Distribution Calculator

Computes areas (probabilities) under an F curve. F values are never negative and the curve is right-skewed, so ANOVA and variance-ratio tests use the right tail. Its shape depends on two degrees of freedom.

Region to shade

The buttons above the chart choose which area is shaded and reported:

Two-way lookup

The calculator works in both directions — edit whichever value you know:

You can also drag the boundary line(s) directly on the chart. The banner beside the buttons reports the current area.

Degrees of freedom

The F distribution needs two: Numerator df₁ and Denominator df₂. Set each with its number box or slider. In ANOVA, df₁ comes from the number of groups and df₂ from the total sample size.
