Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The notation F(2, 60) indicates that the degrees of freedom for the factor A is 2. In a between-subjects ANOVA, the degrees of freedom for a factor is calculated as the number of levels of the factor minus 1. Therefore, if the degrees of freedom for factor A is 2, then factor A must have 3 levels (2 + 1 = 3).
