- In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.arrow_forwardNeed help with this math problemarrow_forwardThe weight of a small Starbucks coffee is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 420 grams and a standard deviation of 24 grams.
