(5.4.17) with α = 1 – γ and verify that

For example, when γ = .90, .95, .975, .99 and .995, this formula provides the
values F 2,2,1-γ = 9.0, 19.0, 39.0, 99.0 and 199.0 respectively which match with
the corresponding entries in the Table 14.3.4. Also, for example, this formula
provides the values F 2,5,.05 = 5.7863 and F 2,8,.025 = 6.0596 whereas the corre-
sponding entries in the Table 14.3.4 are 5.7861 and 6.0595 respectively.
