When Y,, Y,..,Y, is a random sample from N(u,0), we learned in class that the Y – Į statistic T = S/ п-1 has t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom, where Y and S are the sample mean and sample standard deviation, respectively. Write out the form of T² and show algebraically that T² can be written as the ratio of two independent x random variables, each divided by their respective degrees of freedom. What is, therefore, the distribution of T?
