No, it is not.
No.
If the samples are drawn frm a normal population, when the population standard deviation is unknown and estimated by the sample standard deviation, the sampling distribution of the sample means follow a t-distribution.
NO
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.
If the sample size is large (>30) or the population standard deviation is known, we use the z-distribution.If the sample sie is small and the population standard deviation is unknown, we use the t-distribution
No.
When the population standard deviation is not known, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is typically modeled using the t-distribution instead of the normal distribution. This is because the t-distribution accounts for the additional uncertainty introduced by estimating the population standard deviation from the sample. As the sample size increases, the t-distribution approaches the normal distribution, making it more appropriate for larger samples.
If the samples are drawn frm a normal population, when the population standard deviation is unknown and estimated by the sample standard deviation, the sampling distribution of the sample means follow a t-distribution.
The t distribution is a probability distribution that is symmetric and bell-shaped, similar to the normal distribution, but has heavier tails. It is used in statistics, particularly for small sample sizes, to estimate population parameters when the population standard deviation is unknown. The t distribution accounts for the additional uncertainty introduced by estimating the standard deviation from the sample. As the sample size increases, the t distribution approaches the normal distribution.
NO
The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means, also known as the standard error, is calculated by dividing the population standard deviation (σ) by the square root of the sample size (n). This is expressed as ( \sigma_{\bar{x}} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} ). The standard error decreases as the sample size increases, indicating that larger samples provide more accurate estimates of the population mean. This concept is fundamental in inferential statistics for making predictions about the population based on sample data.
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.
The standard deviation would generally decrease because the large the sample size is, the more we know about the population, so we can be more exact in our measurements.
the standard deviation of the sample decreases.

When the population standard deviation is known, the sample distribution is a normal distribution if the sample size is sufficiently large, typically due to the Central Limit Theorem. If the sample size is small and the population from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed, the sample distribution will also be normal. In such cases, statistical inference can be performed using z-scores.
z=(x-mean)/(standard deviation of population distribution/square root of sample size) T-score is for when you don't have pop. standard deviation and must use sample s.d. as a substitute. t=(x-mean)/(standard deviation of sampling distribution/square root of sample size)
