Answer to Question #342334 in Real Analysis for Ethan

Question

If the distribution is not normally distributed and the sample size is small ,n=10, is the t-test still apropriate to use?explain your answer

Answer 1

For a t-test to be valid on a sample of smaller size, the population distribution would have to be approximately normal. The t-test is invalid for small samples from non-normal distributions, but it is valid for large samples from non-normal distributions.
