A) the binomial distribution
B) the z distribution
C) the t distribution
D) all of these
E) the z and t distributions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three options (binomial, z, and t distributions) represent sampling distributions. The binomial distribution is a type of probability distribution that provides the probability of a specific number of successes in a fixed number of trials with a fixed probability of success. The z distribution is the normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, and it is used in hypothesis testing involving z-tests. The t distribution is used in hypothesis testing involving t-tests when the sample size is small or the population standard deviation is unknown. All three distributions represent a set of outcomes that could arise from sampling repeatedly from the same population.
