This lesson is a part of the course Sampling and Estimation
Student’s t distribution, or simply called t-distribution, is a form of continuous probability distributions which is formed when we are trying to estimate the mean of a population that is normally distributed, but we have a small sample size and we don’t know the population standard deviation. When we say that the sample size is small, we mean a sample size of less than 30.
