Write a R program for F test

1. Introduction

This R program performs an F-test, which is used to compare the variances of two populations to ascertain if they are equal. It's particularly useful in the analysis of variance (ANOVA).

2. Program Steps

1. Define two sample datasets representing two populations.

2. Calculate the variances of these two datasets.

3. Perform the F-test to compare the variances.

4. Print the results of the F-test.

3. Code Program

# Step 1: Define two sample datasets
sample1 <- c(15, 20, 25, 30, 35)
sample2 <- c(20, 22, 24, 26, 28)

# Step 2: Calculate the variances of the datasets
variance1 <- var(sample1)
variance2 <- var(sample2)

# Step 3: Perform the F-test
f_test_result <- var.test(sample1, sample2)

# Step 4: Print the results of the F-test
print("F-test results:")
print(f_test_result)

Output:

F-test results:
[F-test output including F-statistic and p-value]

Explanation:

1. sample1 <- c(15, 20, 25, 30, 35), sample2 <- c(20, 22, 24, 26, 28): Initializes two sample datasets.

2. var(sample1), var(sample2): Calculates the variances of each sample.

3. var.test(sample1, sample2): Conducts the F-test to compare the variances of the two samples.

4. print("F-test results:"), print(f_test_result): Prints the results of the F-test, including the F-statistic and p-value. The p-value helps determine whether the variances are significantly different.
