The $\chi$² statistic from a contingency table with 6 rows and five columns will have A)30 degrees of freedom B)24 degrees of freedom C)5 degrees of freedom D)20 degrees of freedom E)25 degrees of freedom

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula to calculate degrees of freedom for a chi-square test of independence is:
(df) = (number of rows - 1) x (number of columns - 1)

Using this formula, we get:
(df) = (6-1) x (5-1) = 20

Therefore, the answer is D) 20 degrees of freedom.
