If the number of participants in Group 1 = 54 and the number in Group 2 = 58,what is the associated degrees of freedom?

A) 99
B) 111
C) 112
D) 110

The degrees of freedom for an independent samples t-test is calculated as (n1-1) + (n2-1), where n1 is the sample size for Group 1 and n2 is the sample size for Group 2. Therefore, the degrees of freedom in this scenario would be (54-1) + (58-1) = 110. Therefore, the correct answer is (D).
