Indicate whether the following statement is true or false.

Both the t-distribution and standard normal distribution have the same mean, but the t-distribution has a smaller standard deviation than the standard normal distribution.

Expert Solution

Answer: True.The statement   is true.

The mean of the distribution equal to 0 right because it is also symmetric just like a normal distribution. The variance that is the spread is given by v divided by v minus 2, where v is the degrees of freedom and v is greater than 2, the variance is always greater than 1 so the degrees of freedom reach infinity the t-distribution reaches a standard normal distribution.

The T-distribution should not be used with small samples that are not approximately normal. In a normal distribution with a very small sample size is followed.

The standard error is a standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a set of means taken from a population.

For e.g. If I have a sample size of 4, mean is 100, the sample standard deviation is 10, then when we do a t-distribution, mean is still 100, the standard deviation will be 10 divided by 4 that is 10 by 2 which is 5.

Hence, when doing the t-distribution standard deviation is smaller than the standard normal distribution.
