Answer:

d. 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Degrees of freedom is the number is the number of value which is used in the final calculation. It calculate as n-1, where n is the sample size. The degrees of freedom for the given scenario is 19. The sample size is 20 so the degrees of freedom is 1 less which will be 19.
