An introduction to the concept of degrees of freedom. This is an "arm-waving" proof; if you want something that is mathematically rigorous, please look elsewhere :)

  • wow. now i understand. So every group you have to subtract 1. If two groups could -2. I hope I'm not wrong.

  • @edmundbenz Again, it depends on the test you are doing. In the case of chi-squared, you use a different formula than you would use for a t-test in determining degrees of freedom. Rather than just saying "always subtract one," you have to ask: "how many numbers can I choose freely before the rest are forced choices?"

  • Excelente explicación! Muchas gracias!
