A two-factor between-subjects design is evaluated. The F-value for Factor A has df = 1, 40 and the F-value for Factor B has df = 3, 40. Based on this information, what are the df values for the A x B interaction?

The df values for the A x B interaction are also 3,40

Step-by-step explanation:

The F-value for Factor A has df = 1, 40

The F-value for Factor B has df = 3, 40.

The df values for the A x B interaction are also 3,40

This is because the source of variation between columns has ( c- 1); rc(n-1) degrees of freedom and  the source of variation between  rows has (r-1); rc(n-1) degrees of freedom and the  source of variation of interaction

(between rows and columns)  has ( c-1) ( r-1); rc(n-1) degrees of freedom.

Therefore

Factor A:  ( c- 1); rc(n-1)    = 1,40

Factor B:    (r-1); rc(n-1)     = 3,40

Interaction : ( c-1) ( r-1); rc(n-1)   =  3*1,(40)= 3,40

where c refers to columns , r refers to rows and n refers to the total sample size.

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
