Which of the following statements is correct? Question 17 options: You should not use the t procedure, because the population does not have a Normal distribution. You may use the z procedure, but only if you use the sample standard deviation. You may not use the z procedure because you know the population standard deviation. You should use the t procedure, provided you do not know the population standard deviation.arrow_forward
