In the estimation of a parameter using the t-distribution, is it possible to replace the population standard deviation, o by the sample standard deviation, s? * No, because the given sample size is small No, because o and s differ by a significant amount Yes, because o is unknown and s is a good estimator of o. Yes, because o is equal to s when we are estimating parameters
