FTEST

The FTEST function in Google Sheets is a statistical tool used to determine the probability associated with an F-test for equality of variances. It is primarily used to compare whether two samples are likely to have come from populations with the same variance.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: FTEST(range1, range2)

Parameters:

  • range1: The first range representing the values of the first sample.
  • range2: The second range representing the values of the second sample.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  • Example: =FTEST(A1:A10, B1:B10)

Use Cases and Scenarios

The FTEST function can be used in various scenarios, including:

  1. Statistical Analysis: Comparing variances between two datasets.
  2. Quality Control: Assessing the homogeneity of variance in manufacturing processes.
  3. Experimental Design: Evaluating the significance of differences in experimental conditions.
