Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reciprocal property of F-distribution states that F(df1, df2) = 1/F(df2, df1). To find the F-value with area 0.005 to its left, we look for the F-value with area 0.995 to its right for df = (12, 9). The reciprocal of this value is the F-value with area 0.005 to its left for df = (9, 12).
