Question

An ANOVA procedure is used for data obtained from four populations. Four samples, each comprised of 30 observations, were taken from the four populations. The numerator and denominator (respectively) degrees of freedom for the critical value of F are _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an ANOVA procedure is used for data obtained from four populations. Four samples, each comprised of 30 observations, were taken from the four populations.

Hence total observations are 30*4 =120

No of groups = 3

Hence numerator df = 3-1 =2

Now total degrees of freedom = 120-1 =119

So denominator degrees of freedom = 119-2 = 117

Thus F statistic will have numerator as 2 degrees of freedom and denominator as 117 degrees of freedom.
