In a t-distribution, the mean, median, and mode are all zero.

• True

• False

CCSS.HSS.ID.A.3

The tails of a t-distribution are narrower than those of the normal distribution.

• True

• False

 As the degrees of freedom decrease, the shape of the t-distribution approaches the normal distribution.

• True

• False

If a set of data has a sample size of 18, then the degrees of freedom for the t-distribution is d.f. = 18.

• True

• False

When constructing a confidence interval for a t-distribution (σ unknown), the data must be normally distributed, or n ≥ 30

• True

• False

Given a sample standard deviation "0.5", n=30, and a confidence interval "90%". Solve for the margin of error "E" for the t-distribution (σ unknown). Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
