Question 981693: A psychologist is interested in knowing whether adults who were bullied as children differ from the general population in terms of their empathy for others. On a questionnaire designed to measure empathy, the mean score for the general population is 30.6. Random sampling of 109 scores obtained from individuals who were bullied yielded a mean of 39.5 and a standard deviation of 6.6. (Use these numbers only for this question!)
What are the degrees of freedom? (numeric value only)

We are measuring one variable (empathy), therefore
Degrees of freedom(DF) is number of observations - 1
DF = 109 -1 = 108
