    (c) If we do not know the population standard deviation and must use the sample standard deviation

    Explanation:

    A t distribution is used for the inference about the population mean if the population standard deviation (sigma) is unknown. The sample standard deviation (s) is used instead.

    The test statistic of a t distribution is given as (sample mean - population mean) : (sample standard deviation : sqrt (sample size))

    The test statistic of a standard normal distribution is given as (sample mean - population mean) : (population standard deviation : sqrt (sample size))
