Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

A t test differs from a z test in that s is not needed to make the calculations and the sample size should be smaller (30 or lower), whereas for a z test s is known and the samples are 30 or greater. The calculations are similar except that with a t test they are based on using s (the estimated standard deviation) rather than s. The z test has set critical values to determine significance and the critical values for the t test vary based on sample size.
