An F-curve is right-skewed if the numerator degrees of freedom are larger than the
denominator degrees of freedom and left-skewed if the denominator degrees of freedom are larger
than the numerator degrees of freedom.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The skewness of an F-distribution is not determined by the comparison of the numerator and denominator degrees of freedom in this manner. The shape of the F-distribution primarily depends on both degrees of freedom, but not in a simple comparison of larger or smaller. Generally, F-distributions are skewed to the right, and the degree of skewness decreases as either the numerator or denominator degrees of freedom increase.
