Question

In the equation r₍₆₅₎ = .45, p < .05, what are the degrees of freedom?
A).45
B)45
C).65
D)65

The degrees of freedom would be calculated using the formula N - 2, where N is the sample size. Based on the information in the equation provided, we know that r=0.45, and p<0.05, which means that the result is statistically significant. Therefore, we can infer that the sample size (N) is at least 27 (minimum required for statistical significance at p<0.05). Using the formula, we calculate that the degrees of freedom would be 65 - 2 = 63. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 65.
