The degrees of freedom for the t test to test the hypothesis about paired sample are
A
n
B
n1 + n2
C
n1+n2-2
D
n-1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The degrees of freedom for a paired test are calculated by the following formula. where n denotes the number of paired observations. Therefore, a paired t-test with n=12 pairs, the degrees of freedom is df=12−1=11 d f = 12 − 1 = 11 .

Detailed explanation-2: -The one-sample t-test is a statistical test that can be used to determine whether there is a significant difference between the sample mean and the population mean. The t-test statistic (T) follows a t-distribution with n – 1 degrees of freedom, where n is the number of observations in the sample.
