In order to determine an interval for the mean of a population with unknown standard deviation a sample of 61 items is selected. The mean of the sample is determined to be 23. The number of degrees of freedom for reading the t value is.



Answer :

The number of degree of freedom for reading the t values is 60 , the correct option is (c) .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

number of items in the sample = 61 items

the mean of the sample is given as 23 ,

we have to find the degree of freedom(df) ,

the degree of freedom(df) can be solved using the formula

degree of freedom(df)  [tex]=[/tex] (number of observations) - 1

Substituting the values in the formula ,

we get ,

degree of freedom = 61 - 1

= 60

Therefore , The number of degree of freedom for reading the t values is 60 , the correct option is (c) .

The given question is incomplete , the complete question is
