11. In testing the principal's claim, can we use the t-distribution? A. Yes, because the population standard deviation is unknown, and the sample size is small. B. Yes, because the sample standard deviation is small, and variance is unknown. C. No, because the population standard deviation is greater than the sample standard deviation. D. No, because the sample size is too small for the given sample standard deviation.
