Computing F-ratio

The F-ratio is used to determine whether the variances in two independent samples are equal. If the F-ratio is not statistically significant, you may assume there is homogeneity of variance and employ the standard t-test for the difference of means. If the F-ratio is statistically significant, use an alternative t-test computation such as the Cochran and Cox method.

What is F-ratio?

The F-ratio is a statistical ratio which arises as the ratio of two chi-square distributions.If X and Y are two random variables which are independent and approximately normally distributed, then their variances have chi-squared distributions. The ration of these chi-square distributions, appropriately scaled, is called the F-ratio.The F-ratio is used extensively in analysis of variance to determine what proportion of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by an explanatory variable (and the model being tested).

What would be the focal ratio of a telescope with a 5 aperture and a focal length of 25?

The focal ratio ( 'f' number ) is the ratio of focal length to diameter. For the numbers given in the question, assuming they're both in the same unit, this telescope is a 25/5 = f/5.


F-ratio in econometrics can be expressed as function of R square if one can be expressed as a function of other why do you need both?

The F-ratio can be expressed as a function of the R^2 only under certain assumptions (e.g. linear regression model). There are econometric models where the R^2 is not meaningfully defined or the F-ratio cannot be expressed in terms of the R^2, but you can still carry out an F-test, .


What is the F ratio test and how is it different from Chi square square test?

A F-ratio test compares 2 variances and tell if they are significantly different. A Chi-square test compares count data.
