Respuesta :

Considering that we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution should be used to solve this question.

When should the z-distribution and the t-distribution be used?

  • If we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution should be used.
  • If we have the standard deviation for the population, the z-distribution should be used.

In this problem, there is a sample standard deviation of 0.5 hours, hence the t-distribution should be used.
