Many textbooks (though not this one) advocate testing the mean of a sample against a hypothesized population mean by using z even if the population standard deviation is not known, so long as the sample size exceeds 30. Those books recommend this because
 
  a. they don't know any better.
  b. there are not tables for t for more than 30 degrees of freedom.
  c. the difference between t and z is small for that many cases.
  d. t and z are exactly the same for that many cases.

Question 2

If the standard deviation of the population is 15 and we repeatedly draw samples of 25 observations each, the resulting sample means will have a standard error of
 
  a. 2
  b. 3
  c. 15
  d. 0.60
