Function name:
FINV

Category:
Statistical Analysis

Summary:
Calculates the inverse of the right-tailed probability distribution function for the F distribution. The F distribution is used for F tests in order to set the relation between two different data sets.

Syntax:
FINV(Number; degreesFreedom1; degreesFreedom2)

Returns:
Returns a real number which is the inverse of the right-tailed probability distribution function for the F distribution.

Arguments:
Number is a real number in the range [0,1] or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the probability value for which the inverse F distribution is to be calculated.

degreesFreedom1 is a real number or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the degrees of freedom in the numerator in the F distribution.

degreesFreedom2 is a real number or a reference to the cell containing that number which is the degrees of freedom in the denominator in the F distribution.


 * If Number is greater than 1 or less than 0 or degreeFreedom1/degreeFreedom2 is less than 1, then the function returns an error value.
 * If degreeFreedom1 or degreeFreedom2 is a non-integer value then the function uses its floor value, i.e. truncates it to an integer.

Additional details:
If FDIST(x;degreesfreedom1;degreesfreedom2) = p, then FINV(p;degreesfreedom1;degreesfreedom2) =x.
