Dr. Nixon noted the following Chi-square test of independence results: $\chi$²(6, N= 311) = 10.72, p = .001, ᶲ = .20. Which of the following numbers represents the degrees of freedom in this results write-up?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degrees of freedom (df) for a Chi-square test of independence is given by the formula df = (R-1)(C-1), where R is the number of rows and C is the number of columns in the contingency table. In the notation provided (6, N= 311) = 10.72, p = .001, ᶲ = .20, the number immediately following the chi-square symbol (χ²) and before the N value, which is 6 in this case, represents the degrees of freedom for the test.
