Name

FINV

Synopsis

Use FINV to find the inverse of the F probability distribution. To use this function you must know the probability value for the distribution.

To Calculate

=FINV(Probability, Degrees_Freedom1, Degrees_Freedom2)

All arguments are required for this function.

Degrees_Freedom1

Specifies a numeric value between 1 and 1,000,000,000 that indicates the degrees of freedom for the first data set. This argument is used as the numerator value.

Degrees_Freedom2

Specifies a numeric value between 1 and 1,000,000,000 that indicates the degrees of freedom for the second data set. This argument is used as the denominator value.

Example

Figure 15-13 illustrates how FINV is used to determine the inverse value for the F probability function. You will notice that the value returned by FINV is fairly close to the initial X value of FDIST.
