No- skewness parameter declines with increased degrees of freedom. skewness = sqrt(8/k) see link

What does when the sample size and degrees of freedom is sufficiently large the difference between a t distribution and the normal distribution becomes negligible mean?
The t-distribution and the normal distribution are not exactly the same. The t-distribution is approximately normal, but since the sample size is so small, it is not exact. But n increases (sample size), degrees of freedom also increase (remember, df = n - 1) and the distribution of t becomes closer and closer to a normal distribution.

What are characteristics of the X2?
It is not negative. it is positively skewed, and it approaches a normal distribution as the degrees of freedom increase. Its shape is NEVER based on the sample size.
When do you use a z - table compared with when you use a t - table?
For statistical tests based on (Student's) t-distribution you use the t-table. This is appropriate for small sample sizes - up to around 30. For larger samples (or degrees of freedom), the t-distribution becomes very close to the Standard Normal distribution so you use the z-tables.
How to calculate the degrees of freedom for t-distribution?
n-1
Does the t distribution always has n degrees of freedom?
Yes it does.

How does sample size affect t score?
The estimated standard deviation goes down as the sample size increases. Also, the degrees of freedom increase and, as they increase, the t-distribution gets closer to the Normal distribution.

What is the increase in room temperature from -8 degrees to 20 degrees?
It is an increase of 28 degrees.
What substance becomes liquid at 1800 degrees?
Iron becomes liquid at 1800 degrees.
Which is greater an increase of 5 degrees Fahrenheit or an increase of 5 degrees celsius?
The increase of 5 Celsius degrees is a greater increase.Celsius degrees are 1.8 times the size of Fahrenheit degrees.
What does the student's t-distribution refer to in statistics?
The Student's T- Distribution is a type of probability distribution that is theoretical and resembles a normal distribution. The Student T- Distribution differs from the normal distribution by its degrees of freedom.

What state of matter is water at 50 degrees Celsius?
At 50 degrees Celsius, water is liquid. It boils and becomes gas at 100 degrees Celsius, and freezes and becomes solid at 0 degrees Celsius.
