To determine if food allergies influences participants' taste pallet, researchers conducted a chi-square test of independence between conditions . Based on this information what was the degrees of freedom in this study?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degrees of freedom for a chi-square test of independence is calculated by (number of rows - 1) x (number of columns - 1). Since the question only provides information about the conditions (and not the number of rows or columns), we cannot determine the exact degrees of freedom. However, given that there are only three answer choices, the most reasonable assumption is that there are three conditions being compared, resulting in (3-1) x (2-1) = 2 degrees of freedom. Therefore, the best answer is A: 3.
