What is meant by "Table F" (Fourier Table) in stats?

Question

Detailed explaination reqd

Answer 1

I think that you are confused.

In statistics there is a “F table” but it’s not a “Fourier Table”, but it’s the table of the F distribution which is a ratio of two Chi-square distributions, and a specific F distribution is denoted by the degrees of freedom for the numerator Chi-square and the degrees of freedom for the denominator Chi-square.

A Fourier table can be interpreted as the Table of Fourier Transforms, and of course can be used in probability, the integrals are related with probability… but I think that there isn’t a specific relation with statistic.

My English is not good at all, but I hope you can understand everything.

Answer 2

Fourier integrals are required in many instances where complex functions have to be analysed.
