Let the random variable T follow a Student's t distribution with 9 degrees of freedom. State the distribution of the random variable T. Group of answer choices T∼Student′st(9) T∼Student′st(8) T∼Normal(0,1) T∼Student′st(0,1) Compute the probability that T is between −0.1 and 0.6. True or False: The larger the degrees of freedom in a Student's t distribution, the closer to a standard normal distribution the Student's t distribution becomes.
