Provided information is, a test of homogeneity for a contingency table is conducted.
The contingency table is having 8 categories in column and 2 categories in row.
For test of homogeneity chi-square test is used, the chi-square test statistic follows chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom as
(number of rows-1)(number of columns-1) = (8-1)(2-1) = 7
Thus, degrees of freedom for chi-square distribution is 7.
