Question 6              1 pts

Which of the following is a difference between the t-distribution and the standard normal (z) distribution?

Group of answer choices

• The standard normal distributions' confidence levels are wider than those of the t-distribution
• The t-distribution cannot be calculated without a known standard deviation, while the standard normal distribution can be.
• The t-distribution has a larger variance than the standard normal distribution
• The standard normal distribution is dependent on parameters like degree of freedom, while t-distribution is not.
