Answer to Problem 1FP

The t test is used as an alternative for z test when the population variance is unknown.

Explanation of Solution

Justification: The ttest is similar to the ztest. In ttest sample variance is replaced with population variance for estimating the standard error. When the population standard deviation is not known t test is used in place of z test.

Hence, the t test is used as an alternative for z test when the population variance is unknown.
