Using the Wrong Distribution When testing a claim about a population mean with a simple random sample selected from a normally distributed population with unknown , the Student t distribution should be used for finding critical values and/or a Pvalue. If the standard normal distribution is incorrectly used instead, does that mistake make you more or less likely to reject the null hypothesis, or does it not make a difference? Explain.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Given that,
When testing a claim about a population mean with a simple random sample selected from a normally distributed population with unknown , the Student t Distribution should be used for finding critical values and/or a T-value.
If the standard normal distribution is incorrectly used instead, does that mistake make you more or less likely to reject the null hypothesis, or does it not make a difference?
