If the hypothesis test isF-table.one-tailed, use the F-table.two-tailed, use the Note that because F is always greater than or equal to 1, all one-tailed tests are right-tailed tests. For two-tailed tests, you need only to find the right-tailed critical value.Example: Finding Critical F-Values for a Right-Tailed TestFind the critical F-value for a right-tailed test when ., and Solution:A portion of Table 7 is shown on the next screen.
