Question

Suppose you are interested in testing wheter the mean earning of men in the general social survey is representative of the earning of the entire U.S. Male population. If there are 372 men in the general social survey sample and approximately 128 million men in the population, calculate the degrees of freedom for this single-sample t test.

Answer 1

371

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation the calculation of degrees of freedom for this single-sample t test is shown below:-

Degrees of freedom is N - 1

Where N represents the number of Men

Now we will put the values into the above formula.

= 372 - 1

= 371

Therefore for calculating the degree of freedom we simply applied the above formula.
