Question 44
Multiple Choice
Question 44The tdf distribution is similar to the z distribution because ___________________________________________.
A) as the degrees of freedom go to infinity,the t distribution converges to the z distribution
B) both have asymptotic tails-that is,their tails become closer and closer to the horizontal axis but never touch it
C) as the degrees of freedom go to infinity,the t distribution converges to the z distribution and both have asymptotic tails-that is,their tails become closer and closer to the horizontal axis but never touch it
D) Neither as the degrees of freedom go to infinity,the t distribution converges to the z distribution nor both have asymptotic tails-that is,their tails become closer and closer to the horizontal axis but never touch it
