Multiple Choice

A researcher wished to compare the effect of the different rates of stepping on volunteers' heart rates in a step-aerobics workout.A collection of thirty adult volunteers,fifteen women and fifteen men,were selected from a local gym.The men were randomly divided into three groups of five subjects each.Each group did a standard step-aerobics workout,with Group 1 at a low rate of stepping,Group 2 at a medium rate of stepping,and Group 3 at a rapid rate.The women were also randomly divided into three groups of five subjects each.As with the men,each group did a standard step-aerobics workout,with Group 1 at a low rate of stepping,Group 2 at a medium rate of stepping,and Group 3 at a rapid rate.The mean heart rate at the end of the workout for all the subjects was determined in beats per minute. A partial ANOVA table for these data is given below. What is the value of the degrees of freedom for interaction?
