3. Normal distributions (z-score distribution) uses all possible samples of a particular size (n),
therefore it looks more normal. T-distributions, on the other hand, uses df (degree of freedom). If
the degree of freedom is on the smaller end, the T-distribution has more variability and tends to
be more spread out. If the degree of freedom gets very large, the T-distribution will take on the
shape of a normal distribution.
4. T-distribution is used when population standard deviation and variance are not known.
