In an ANOVA procedure, the number of F scores reported corresponds to the number of factors being analyzed. If there is more than one factor or variable included in the analysis, each factor will have its own F score. Therefore, if you are conducting a two-way ANOVA, for example, you would typically report two F scores: one for each factor.

When multiple factors are considered, the F scores help assess the significance of each factor in explaining the variance in the dependent variable. This approach allows researchers to determine whether the effects of individual factors and their interactions are statistically significant.

Thus, the correct answer reflects the fact that the reporting of F scores is directly tied to the number of independent variables in the ANOVA model being analyzed.
