Calculate 90th percentile of F distribution using "rchisq" function in R programming language

389 Views Asked by At

I am working on a problem for my Data Analysis class and I have to figure out a way to calculate the 90th percentile of the $F(3,5)$ distribution using the "rchisq" function in R(programming language).

I know that I have to use this formula: $\displaystyle F= \dfrac{rchisq(x,df=3)/3}{rchisq(x,df=5)/5}$. However, I am not sure what to use for $x$ or how to figure out the 90th percentile.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

In order to find the percentile you just have to use quantile(F, 0.9) after defining F as I did above in the question (with n=100000).
