Because we will compare an
F
statistic value with an
F
critical value in the
decision rule, we will refer to this test as an
F
test
. Based on the rejection
region, this will be a right tail test.
Note:
The
F
test is a right-tailed test.
A general critical or rejection region for the
F
test is shown in
Figure 16-13
.

Noncritical regions for the

test
