This document discusses the F distribution and its use in statistical hypothesis testing. The F distribution is used to test whether the means of two normal distributions with unknown and unequal variances are statistically different. The document outlines how to calculate an F statistic from sample data and compare it to critical values from the F distribution to determine if there is a significant difference between the means.
