How many total degrees of freedom are in an unreplicated 23 factorial experiment?
A.
7
B.
6
C.
5
D.
1
The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
In an unreplicated 232^323 factorial experiment, there are 8 runs (since 23=82^3 = 823=8). The total degrees of freedom are calculated as the number of runs minus 1, which is 8−1=78 - 1 = 78−1=7. However, considering there are three factors, each with one degree of freedom, and their interactions (1 for each main effect, 3 two-way interactions, and 1 three-way interaction), the correct total degrees of freedom are 7.
