Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degrees of freedom for a contingency table analysis is calculated by multiplying the number of rows minus one by the number of columns minus one i.e. (Rows - 1) x (Columns - 1). This gives the total number of cells in the contingency table that are free to vary, while taking into account the constraints imposed by the row and column totals.
