Answer: There are 980 degrees of freedom for the within subjects factor.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of groups = 20

Number of participants in each group = 50

So, number of participants in 20 groups is given by

$20* 50\\\\=1000$

As we know that

Degrees of freedom for the within subjects factor would be

$v=n-k\\\\v=1000-20\\\\v=980$

Hence, there are 980 degrees of freedom for the within subjects factor.
