Data is specified using parameter specification. The following shows the meaning
of each item.
x ..................... data
n-df ................. numerator degrees of freedom (positive integer)
d-df ................. denominator degrees of freedom (positive integer)
Execute .......... executes a calculation or draws a graph
Example To calculate F probability density for a specific parameter
value
For this example, we will calculate F probability density when
x = 1, n-df = 24, and d-df = 19.
