If two random samples, each with n = 60 scores, are selected from a population, and the z-score and t statistic are computed for each sample, the t statistics will be less variable than the z-scores.

Solutions

Expert Solution

No, the z-score will be less variable than t-statistics.

Because the sample standard deviation is less than the population standard deviation.
