When computing the degrees of freedom for ANOVA,how is the within-group estimate calculated?

A) n - 1
B) k - 1
C) N - k
D) (n - 1) ÷ k

Within-Group Estimate

An analysis focusing on the variation or relationships of variables within a single group.

Degrees of Freedom

The number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary, often related to the number of independent observations in a dataset.

ANOVA

Acronym for Analysis of Variance, a statistical technique used to compare the means of three or more samples.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The within-group degrees of freedom for ANOVA are calculated as N−kN - kNk , where NNN is the total number of observations across all groups, and kkk is the number of groups. This formula subtracts the number of groups from the total number of observations to account for the degrees of freedom used in estimating the group means.
