Multiple Choice

Questions refer to Table 11-2. In this study, 10 children completed a survey regarding their impressions of smokers at age 8 and then again at age 10 and 12. Scores could range from 1 (extreme negative impression of smokers) to 20 (extreme positive impression of smokers) .

-Consult Table 11-2. Why are the degrees of freedom for the age variable equal to 2?

A) Because there are two levels of the independent variable.
B) Because there are three levels of the independent variable.
C) Because there are two significant differences.
D) Because the formula for df between is always 1 + 1.
