Please specify how the formula for thet test differs from the formula for the z test?

Explanation / Answer

Given that the sample size n=20 the formla for sample sd=1/n-1(xi-mean)2 a) the t distribution becomes normal when n is large i.e ntends to       t is equal to the1/standard normal variate,when =0,2 =1 b) the t distribution differs from sdandard normaldistribution when mean>0 and variance is always greater than orequal to zero. a) the t distribution becomes normal when n is large i.e ntends to       t is equal to the1/standard normal variate,when =0,2 =1 b) the t distribution differs from sdandard normaldistribution when mean>0 and variance is always greater than orequal to zero.
