In The t-distribution has tail than the standard normal distribution t. t distribution is still symmetric, still constant, and as the sample size becomes larger and larger, the t-distribution become more and more normal. The method for the ...

  • Student's t and Standard Normal Comparison

    Differences between the Student's t and the standard normal distribution • In standard normal distribution the population standard deviation is known but it is no known in the students t distribution.

  • Random Variables

    (1) If T follows t-distribution with degrees of freedom v, i.e., T~t(n), then E(T)=0 and Var(T)=v/(v-2). You can know this from textbook since the proof is not easy.

  • Normal distribution, standard deviation and mean

    Remember that if the standard deviation is unknown but the sample size is large (more than 30) then you would still have to use the t distribution and not a standard normal distribution.

  • T - Statistic vs. Z-Statistic

    Hence for large samples, if the population standard deviation is known, we can compute z-score and use the normal distribution to test the population.

  • Continuous probability distribution

    Thus T can assume integer values as well as decimal values, and therefore, T is a continuous random variable. (b) Does T follow a uniform distribution or a normal distribution?
