Question 1010600: HELP ME PLEASE?!
Consider a sample mean (xbar) of 46 calculated from a sample of size 51 drawn from a population of over 1000.
Would it be appropriate to use the standard score table to look up the probability of a standard (z) score calculated on these data? Why or why not?

unless i'm missing something, you don't have a standard deviation.

the standard deviation from the population is required in order to use the z-score.

if you had the standard deviation from the population, then it would be appropriate to use the z-score.

if you had the standard deviation from the sample, then it would be appropriate to use the t-score.

without the standard deviation of either the population or the sample, you would not be able to use the z-score or the t-score.

check your problem and see if the standard deviation is supplied.

if from the population, then a z-score is justified.

if from the sample, then a t-score is justified.
