The T-Distribution and T-Test “In probability and statistics‚ Student ’s t-distribution (or simply the t-distribution) is a continuous probability distribution that arises when estimating the mean of a normally distributed population in situations where the sample size is small” (Narasimhan ‚ 1996). Similar to the normal distribution‚ the t-distribution is symmetric and bell-shaped‚ but has heavier tails‚ meaning that it is more likely to produce values far from its mean. This makes the t-distribution
