As the sample size increases, the t distribution approaches the standard normal distribution. This is because the t distribution is based on the sample size and the standard normal distribution is based on the population. As the sample size increases, the sample mean becomes a better estimate of the population mean and the t distribution becomes more like the standard normal distribution.
