Kenna Byrd · Answer 1

degree of freedom is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

sample = 20

to find out

degree of freedom

solution

we know degree of freedom formula

that is

degree of freedom = sample - 1

we have given sample 20

so

degree of freedom = 20 - 1

so degree of freedom is 19
