Table of critical values for the F distribution (for use ...

The point of intersection is your critical F-ratio. 3. If your obtained value of F is equal to or larger than this critical F-value, then your result is significant at that level of probability. An example: I obtain an F ratio of 3.96 with (2, 24) degrees of freedom. I go along 2 columns and down 24 rows. The critical value of F is 3.40. ................
