The F-test is used to determine whether the relationship between the dependent variable and the set of independent variables is significant in a regression model involving more than one independent variable. The F-test provides an overall measure of the fit of the regression model, by comparing the improvement in the fit of the model with the inclusion of the independent variables to the improvement that would be expected by chance. Therefore, the F-test is the best choice in this situation.
