An elementary school principal wants to know the mean number of children in families whose
Children attend this school. He checks all the families using the school's registration records, and we
Create a 95% confidence interval based on a t-distribution. This procedure was not appropriate.
Why?
A) The population standard deviation is known, so he should have used a z-model.
B) The recent record-setting family with twelve children is probably an outlier.
C) The entire population of families was gathered so there is no reason to do inference.
D) At a given school families are not randomly selected.
E) Since these families are from only one school, the family sizes may be skewed.
