Previous:Confidence Interval for a Population mean, with an Unknown Population Variance Next:Student’s t Distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-statistic when the population variance is known and we use t-statistic when the population variance is unknown.

However, when the distribution is not normal, we cannot create a confidence interval if the sample size n<30.
