Question

Which of the following statements is true for this distribution? (No calculations are required to answer this question.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The t distribution can be used when finding a confidence interval for the population mean whenever the sample size is small.

Hence, the correct option is A.

To estimate the population mean we use a t-distribution to calculate the confidence interval. When we use a t-distribution the sample standard deviation is used to estimate the population standard deviation
