Question

Degrees of freedom – numerator:; df; (; num; ) = _________

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

Answer 1

The degrees of freedom – numerator (df(num)) is equal to 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degrees of freedom (df) refers to the number of objects in a sample that are free to vary. In this case, we are looking for the degrees of freedom – numerator, which is denoted as df(num). To determine the value of df(num), we can refer to the given table, where the degrees of freedom are listed along with the corresponding critical values for different probabilities.

From the table, we can see that:

1. For df = 1, the critical value is 3.84
2. For df = 2, the critical value is 5.99
3. For df = 3, the critical value is 7.82
4. For df = 4, the critical value is 9.49

Since df(num) is equal to the numerator degrees of freedom, we can conclude that the value of df(num) is 4. Therefore, the correct answer is d) 4.
