To prepare for the hypothesis test referred to in the previous question, the researcher selected a simple random sample of 50 earthquakes from a university database. Which type of distribution should the researcher use to calculate the p-value needed to perform the test? A bootstrap distribution. There is not enough information given to answer the question. The normal distribution. The t distribution.

Step 1
In statistics, if the sample size is large enough (usually more than 30), the Central Limit Theorem states that the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normal, regardless of the shape of the population distribution. Second, we know that the Show more…

You are running a hypothesis test on a population average. You collect a sample of size 101 and the histogram of the data is symmetric and bell-shaped. What distribution can you use to run this hypothesis test? Select all that apply.
