You intend to conduct a goodness-of-fit test for a multinomial
distribution with 5 categories. You collect data from 73
subjects.
What are the degrees of freedom for the χ2 distribution for this
test?
df=
Homework Answers
Answer #1
In general, for goodness of fit, the number of degrees of freedom will be n-1.so the degrees of freedom (df) is the number of categories minus 1.
df = 5-1 = 4
