F-Distribution Expected Value Calculator

F-Distribution Expected Value Calculator

Calculate the expected value of an F-distribution.

For an F-distribution with numerator degrees of freedom \( d_1 \) and denominator degrees of freedom \( d_2 \), the expected value is given by: $$ E[F] = \frac{d_2}{d_2-2} $$ (defined only if \( d_2 > 2 \)).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

e.g., 5

e.g., 10 (must be greater than 2 for a defined expected value)

Formula: $$ E[F] = \frac{d_2}{d_2-2} \quad \text{for } d_2 > 2 $$
