In which of the following test statistics are degrees of freedom used in both the numerator and the denominator (a presumptive test)?
AT
BF ✓ Correct
CZ
DChi-square
Correct answer: (B) F
Explanation
The F statistic uses degrees of freedom in both numerator and denominator.
F is the ratio of two variances, F = s1^2 / s2^2.
The numerator variance carries its own df.
The denominator variance carries a separate df.
So the F distribution is fixed by a pair (df1, df2).
The t, Z and chi-square tests use only a single df set.
