Answer:

describes the freedom for values, or variables, to vary. Put differently, a lower degrees of freedom means that there are more constraints to the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary;number of independent ways by which a dynamic system can move,without violating constraint;minimum number of independent coordinates that specify the position of the syste

In statistics, the number of degrees of freedom is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary. Estimates of statistical parameters can be based upon different amounts of information or data. The number of independent pieces of information that go into the estimate of a parameter is called the degrees of freedom.
