The z, t, and F distributions are closely linked. In fact, it is possible to use an F distribution in all cas es in which a t or a z could be used.
a. If you calculated an F statistic of 4.22 but you could have used a t statistic (i.e., the situation met all criteria for using a t statistic), what would the t statistic have been? Explain your answer.
b. If you calculated an F statistic of 4.22 but you could have used a z statistic, what would the z statistic have been? Explain your answer.
