Elizabeth · Answer 1

It's c because u round

Clarke · Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Degree of freedom, df is given by the following

df = (number of rows-1) * (number of columns-1)

Given:

number of rows = 6

number of columns = 3

Hence, df = (6-1) * (3-1) = 10

We will choose the option where the value is greater than or equal to 10,

Hence, Option D is correct.
