LEARNING PLAN
OBJECTIVES At the end of the lesson, with at least 75% proficiency, the students are expected to:
1. be able to illustrate t- distribution.
2. able to apply different kinds of random sampling).
3. distinguishes between different kinds of sampling.
PERFORMANC The learner is able to apply an appropriate random variable for a given real-life problem (such as in
E STANDARDS decision making and games of chance.
NOTE:
The whole
lesson may
take 1 or 2 days
II. Development of the Lesson
A. Presentation
The teacher will discuss the objectives of the lesson and what the students are
expected to learn.
Take note that z-test is only used when the population standard deviation or variance is known
and/or the sample size is large enough. But for sample sizes which are small, sometimes the
population standard deviation or variance is unknown, rely on the t-distribution whose value can be
known using:

where 𝑥̅ is the sample mean, 𝜇 is the population mean, s is the standard deviation of the sample and
n is the sample size.
In addition, there is a lot of different or family of t-distributions. Its particular form is determined by its
degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom refer to the number of independent observations in a given
set of data. The number of independent observations is sample size minus one or in symbols, that is
df= n-1 where df is the degree of freedom and n is the sample size. Hence, given a sample size of 9
will have a degree of freedom 8 and if given a degree of freedom of 14 will mean a sample size of
15. However, for some or other applications, degrees of freedom can be calculated in a different way.
Moreover, some properties of t-distribution are that the mean distribution is equal to 0 and its
variance is greater than 1 although close to 1. T- distribution is the same as the standard normal
distribution given with infinite degrees of freedom.
With any statistic that have a bell- shaped distribution which is approximately normal, the t-distribution
can be used. This means that the population distribution must be normal, symmetric, unimodal and
no outliers. Also, the t-distribution can still be utilized for moderately skewed population distribution
given that it is unimodal, without outliers and size is at least 40. Lastly, the t-distribution can be applied
for a size greater than 40 and without outliers.
The t- distribution Table
In order to get the t- value, a t-distribution table is shown above which is consist of the degrees of
freedom (df) which are the numbers at the leftmost column, “α” which is some of the special areas
at the topmost row and the t-values which are located at the right of the degrees of freedom and
below “α”.

To denote the t-value, it is conveniently written as 𝑡(𝛼 ,𝑑𝑓). So, if you are asked on the
t-value denoted by 𝑡(0.05 ,8) means the t-value corresponding to 𝛼 = 0.05 and df= 8. To look
for this value in the t-table, first locate the 𝛼 = 0.05 on the top row and then the df on the
leftmost column. The intersection of 𝛼 = 0.05 and df= 8 is 1.860.
