Solution

The degrees of freedom for a two-sample t-test is calculated using the formula:

df = n1 + n2 - 2

where n1 is the sample size of the first group and n2 is the sample size of the second group.

Here are the steps to calculate it:

  1. Determine the sample size of the first group (n1).
  2. Determine the sample size of the second group (n2).
  3. Subtract 2 from the sum of the two sample sizes.

This formula assumes that the variances of the two groups are equal. If the variances are not equal, a different formula is used to calculate the degrees of freedom, which is more complex and beyond the scope of this explanation.
