We use interval estimation to study the mean of populations. If the population is normally distributed but the variance is unknown, How can we construct confidence intervals?
选项:
A.Both The t-statist and the Z-statistic
B.The Z-statistic at α/2 with n - 1 degrees of freedom.
C.The t-statistic at α/2 with n - 1 degrees of freedom.
解释:
C is correct.
Because the sample size is unavailable, the z-statisticcan not be used under this case.
为什么是N-1 的自由度?
