As the degrees of freedom increase, the t distribution approaches the _____ distribution.

A) uniform
B) normal
C) exponential
D) p

Degrees of Freedom

Degrees of freedom typically represent the number of values in a calculation that are free to vary, often used in the context of statistical tests to specify the distribution of test statistics.

T Distribution

A probability distribution that is used in hypothesis testing for small sample sizes, when the population standard deviation is unknown.

Normal Distribution

A bell-shaped frequency distribution curve, where most occurrences take place in the middle of the range and fewer on the extremes, characterized by mean and standard deviation.
