Vraag 2:

c) Depend upon the t-distribution
d) Both a and b
Vraag 3:

a) Is too small
b) Will always lead to a wrong conclusion
c) Will likely have certain groups from the population over-represented or under-

Rachael and Peter are discussing how the mean value and variance affect the distribution
graph. As the following graph shows, there are two distributions: A and B
Peter said that the distribution A has fatter tail because its has bigger standard deviation than
the distribution B. Rachael's answer is different:she thinks the distribution A has a smaller

are listed below:
LDL(mg/dl): 130,143,114,110,123,110,134,124
