Explanation:

It is the same reason that the distance by road is not the same as the distance "as the crow flies." The two vectors are often not aligned so that the magnitudes both add to directly to the distance from the origin (or the tail of the first vector).

For example, suppose you walk two segments of 1 mile each. If you walk east in both cases, you end up 2 miles east of where you started. (The sum of the vectors is the sum of their magnitudes.)

If you walk east 1 mile and north 1 mile, you end up about 1.4 miles from where you started, not 2 miles. The second "vector" did not add directly to the distance from your starting point.

If you walk east 1 mile, then west 1 mile, you end up exactly where you started. The sum of the vectors is zero, but the sum of their magnitudes is still 2 miles.

What are the degrees of freedom associated with the factor(s) in this study design?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The question is unclear and incomplete.

Let me explain the degrees of freedom in statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistically, degrees of freedom which is denoted as DF is the number of independent values that can vary in an analysis without breaking any constraints. It can also be referred to as the number of independent values that a statistical analysis can estimate.

Degrees of freedom also define the probability distributions for the test statistics of various hypothesis tests.

The degree of freedom has the formula:

DF = N - 1 where N number of random variables

DF = (R - 1) x (C - 1) Where R is the number of data values and C is the number of groups
