Math Problem Statement
(b) For each of the following sampling scenarios, determine which distribution should be used to calculate the critical value for the 99% confidence interval for the population mean. (In the table, Z refers to a standard normal distribution, and t refers to a t distribution.) Sampling scenario options: Z or t or "Could use Z either T" or Unclear.
(1)The sample has size 80, and it is from a non-normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 7719.
(2)The sample has size 10, and it is from a normally distributed population with an unknown standard deviation.
(3)The sample has size 95, and it is from a non-normally distributed population.
