With n observations, it could be when 2 distributional parameters have been estimated from the data. Often this may be the mean and variance (or standard deviation( when they are both unknown.

If a particular sample has 36 participants and the other sample has 40 participants the total degrees of freedom for the study is?

v = n1 + n2 - k n1 = 36, n2= 40 and k=2 v = 36 + 40 - 2 v = 74

How do you calculate degrees of freedom on excel?

Utilizing the visual basic functions built into excel worksheets you can calculate degrees of freedom. The function call that you use for this is "degrees_freedom".


What are the difference between static degrees of freedom and dynamic degrees of freedom?

Mass and damping are associated with the motion of a dynamic system. Degrees-of-freedom with mass or damping are often called dynamic degrees-of-freedom; degrees-of-freedom with stiffness are called static degrees-of-freedom. It is possible (and often desirable) in models of complex systems to have fewer dynamic degrees-of-freedom than static degrees-of-freedom.

What are the 6 degrees of freedom an object has in space?

A rigid object has up to 6 degrees of freedom: 3 degrees of freedom of location: In both directions of x,y,z axis 3 degrees of freedom of rotation (attitude): pitch, roll, and yaw, rotation about the x,y,z axis.


What is the critical angle of a cladding?

The critical angle for the boundary between two materials (such as the core and cladding of an optical fibre) is: θc = arcsign(n2/n1) Where n2 is the refractive index of the cladding layer. and n1 is the refractive index of the core layer. If we use a simply unclad fibre where the core has n1=1.50 and the air surrounding it forms a layer of n2=1.00 θc = 41.8 degrees.
