What else can I help you with?
How do you find the degrees of freedom when using the t distribution to estimate or test the mean of a sample from a single population?
If the sample consisted of n observations, then the degrees of freedom is (n-1).
What does the student's t-distribution refer to in statistics?
The Student's T- Distribution is a type of probability distribution that is theoretical and resembles a normal distribution. The Student T- Distribution differs from the normal distribution by its degrees of freedom.
What happens to the shape of the chi-square distribution as the df value increases?
As the value of k, the degrees of freedom increases, the (chisq - k)/sqrt(2k) approaches the standard normal distribution.
What are the parameters of the t distribution?
The usual Student's t distribribution has only one parameter, known as the degrees of freedom. Please see the link.
The s2 statistic is used to test to test whether the assumption of normality is reasonable for a given population distribution The sample consists of 5000 observations and is divided into 6 category?
The s2 statistic is used to test to test whether the assumption of normality is reasonable for a given population distribution. The sample consists of 5000 observations and is divided into 6 categories (intervals). The degrees of freedom for the chi-square statistic is:

Does the t distribution always has n degrees of freedom?
Yes it does.
How to calculate the degrees of freedom for t-distribution?
n-1
What does df mean in Experimental Psychology?
In Experimental Psychology, "df" typically refers to degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom reflect the number of independent pieces of information available to estimate a given statistic. In statistical tests, degrees of freedom are used to determine the appropriate critical values for making inferences about a population.
Is the shape of the chi-square distribution bsed on the degrees of freedom?
Yes.
Does t-distribution rely on degree of freedom?
Yes. The parameters of the t distribution are mean, variance and the degree of freedom. The degree of freedom is equal to n-1, where n is the sample size. As a rule of thumb, above a sample size of 100, the degrees of freedom will be insignificant and can be ignored, by using the normal distribution. Some textbooks state that above 30, the degrees of freedom can be ignored.

When do you know when to use t-distribution opposed to the z-distribution?
z- statistics is applied under two conditions: 1. when the population standard deviation is known. 2. when the sample size is large. In the absence of the parameter sigma when we use its estimate s, the distribution of z remains no longer normal but changes to t distribution. this modification depends on the degrees of freedom available for the estimation of sigma or standard deviation. hope this will help u.... mona upreti.. :)
Does Chi-square distribution becomes more skewed as the degrees of freedom increase?
No- skewness parameter declines with increased degrees of freedom. skewness = sqrt(8/k) see link
What does when the sample size and degrees of freedom is sufficiently large the difference between a t distribution and the normal distribution becomes negligible mean?
The t-distribution and the normal distribution are not exactly the same. The t-distribution is approximately normal, but since the sample size is so small, it is not exact. But n increases (sample size), degrees of freedom also increase (remember, df = n - 1) and the distribution of t becomes closer and closer to a normal distribution.

A researcher collected 15 data points that seem to be reasonably bell shaped Which distribution should the researcher use to calculate confidence intervals?
A t-distribution with 15 degrees of freedom
What happens to the shape of the chi-square distribution as the df value increases?
As the value of k, the degrees of freedom increases, the (chisq - k)/sqrt(2k) approaches the standard normal distribution.
