The critical value for αF is determined by the degrees of freedom (df) of the numerator (F1) and the denominator (F10). In this case, there are 6 groups, so df1 = 5. There are a total of 24 participants, so df2 = 23. Using a table or calculator, the critical value for αF with df1 = 5 and df2 = 23 and α = .05 is 2.77.
