Question

Imagine an experiment with 20 groups, and within each group, there are 50 participants. How many degrees of freedom are there for the within subjects factor?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 980 degrees of freedom for the within subjects factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of groups = 20

Number of participants in each group = 50

So, number of participants in 20 groups is given by

$20\times 50\\\\=1000$

As we know that

Degrees of freedom for the within subjects factor would be

$v=n-k\\\\v=1000-20\\\\v=980$

Hence, there are 980 degrees of freedom for the within subjects factor.
