(A) The mean \(\bar{x}\) has \(n\) degree of freedom
(B) The mean \(\bar{x}\) has ( \(n-1\) ) degree of freedom
(C) The standard deviation of the sample has ( \(n-1\) ) degree of freedom
(D) The standard deviation of the sample has \(n\) degree of freedom
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A) and (C) only
  2. B (A) and (D) only
  3. C (B) and (C) only
  4. D (B) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The standard deviation of the sample is calculated using the sample mean, which consumes one degree of freedom. Therefore, the standard deviation of the sample has \( (n-1) \) degrees of freedom. In the context of degrees of freedom, the mean \(\bar{x}\) is determined by \(n\)…
