The F distribution is the distribution of the ratio of two estimates of variance. It is used to compute probability values in the analysis of variance. The F distribution has two parameters: degrees of freedom numerator (dfn) and degrees of freedom denominator (dfd). The dfn is the number of degrees of freedom that the estimate of variance used in the numerator is based on. The dfd is the number of degrees of freedom that the estimate used in the denominator is based on.
But to have all 10 values sum to 35, and have a mean of 3.5, the 10th value cannot vary. It must be a specific number: Therefore, you have 10 - 1 = 9 degrees of freedom. It doesnât matter what sample size you use, or what mean value you useâthe last value in the sample is not free to vary. You end up with n - 1 degrees of freedom, where n is the sample size.
