Test 2 has larger degrees of freedom than Test 1.

Explanation:

When conducting a T test, the degrees of freedom are calculated by the formula n-1 where n is sample size. Here, Test 2 is said to have a larger sample size than Test 1 and degrees of freedom are associated with the sample size hence, Test 2 has larger degrees of freedom than Test 1.
