The degrees of freedom for the sum of squares error are ________.
A)24
B)25
C)4
D)20

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degrees of freedom for the sum of squares error are typically calculated as the total number of observations minus the number of groups (or categories). Without specific details on the number of observations or groups, the correct answer cannot be determined from context alone. However, given the options, if we assume a common scenario in ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) where degrees of freedom are being discussed, the degrees of freedom for the sum of squares error often relate to the residuals or the within-group variation. The specific number (e.g., 20) would depend on the experimental design, such as the number of observations and the number of groups.
