If there are only two samples, then the F distribution is the:
A) sum of the two samples.
B) square of the t distribution.
C) square of the z distribution.
D) null hypothesis distribution for N = 2.

The F distribution is related to the t distribution in that the square of a t-distributed statistic (under certain conditions) follows an F distribution. This relationship is particularly relevant in the context of comparing variances between two samples, where the t-test can be adapted for such comparisons, leading to an F-test.
