As the degrees of freedom approach infinity,the values of a Student t distribution approach those of a standard normal distribution.
Student T Distribution
Student's t-distribution is a probability distribution used in statistics, especially for small sample sizes or unknown population variances, providing a basis for the estimation of population parameters.
Degrees of Freedom
The number of independent pieces of information that go into the estimation of a parameter or calculation of a statistic.
Normal Distribution
The probability distribution is evenly spread around the mean, signifying more frequent occurrences of data points near the mean than those that are more distant.
