Question

A researcher reports an F-ratio with df = 1, 24 for an independent-measures experiment. If all the treatments had the same number of participants, then how many individuals were in each treatment?​

Answer 1

Answer:

13 participants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a researcher reports an F-ratio with df = 1, 24 for an independent-measures experiment.

i.e. degrees of treatment between groups =1

and within groups = 24

This implies that there are two groups.

For two groups to have same number of participants, since we get total of degrees of freedom =24+1 =25

Hence total items selected = 26

i.e. each group would have 13 entries

So each treatment had 13 participants.
