Use the following situation for Questions 25 and 26. A random sample of 16 statistics examinations from a large population was taken. The average score in the sample was 78.6 with a variance of 64. We are interested in determining whether the average grade of the population is significantly more than 75. Assume the distribution of the population of grades is normal. The test statistic is:

 

 A.A. 0.45

 

 B.B. 1.80

 

 C.C. 3.6

 

 D.D. 8

 A.A. normal distribution

 

 B.B. t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom

 

 C.C. t distribution with 35 degrees of freedom

 

 D.D. t distribution with 50 degrees of freedom
