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 happens to the distribution of the t-score as the sample size increases?
It approaches a normal distribution.
Why is t score equal to z score in a normal distribution?
Because as the sample size increases the Student's t-distribution approaches the standard normal.
What is safety t score?
Because t-score isn't as accurate as z-score, you should use 40 as a safety sample size, rather than 30 as you would for a z-score.
How do you calculate Z and T 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)
When is a t test better than a z score?
When you don't have the population standard deviation, but do have the sample standard deviation. The Z score will be better to do as long as it is possible to do it.

When to you use a z-scores or t-scores?
T score is usually used when the sample size is below 30 and/or when the population standard deviation is unknown.
How do you calculate Z and T 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)
What is the probability of finding a T value greater than t.845 given that sample size is 95?
There is not enough information in the question to determine if the t-distribution is the appropriate model to use. If it is, then, with, a sample size of 95 the z-score for the Gaussian distribution is a suitable approximation. The probability is 0.199, approx.
When finding a confidence interval for true mean spent of all citizens should you us a z-score or t-score?
If the sample size is less then 30 use the T table, if greater then 30 use the Z table.
Why use the T score?
T-score is used when you don't have the population standard deviation and must use the sample standard deviation as a substitute.
What statistic is produced when the difference between a score and the mean is divided by the standard deviation?
a "T" or a "Z" score. A "T" Score if comparing a sample. A "Z" Score when comparing a population. Remember, a population includes all observation, and a sample includes only a random selection of the population.
When is a t test better than a z score?
When you don't have the population standard deviation, but do have the sample standard deviation. The Z score will be better to do as long as it is possible to do it.
Does the Student t distribution takes different values for a different sample size?
Yes, but it converges to the Gaussian (Normal) dirstribution for large sample sizes.
You are using the t distribution to estimate or test the mean of a sample from a single population If the sample size is 25 then the degrees of freedom are?
There are 24 df.
