F.DIST
F.DIST: Returns the F-distribution probability for `x` with numerator and denominator degrees of freedom.
Summary
Use F.DIST for left-tail cumulative probabilities or density values in variance-ratio tests.
Remarks
- Set
cumulativeto non-zero for CDF mode, or0for PDF mode. - Requires
x >= 0,deg_freedom1 >= 1, anddeg_freedom2 >= 1. - Returns
#NUM!when any domain constraint is violated. - Invalid numeric coercions propagate as spreadsheet errors.
