The point estimate of the population standard deviation for the random sample 5, 8, 10, 7, 10, 14 is:

A company produces an item M whose mean sales per shop per month was found to be 84 dozens. After an advertisement, a sample of 26 shops was taken and mean sales was found to be 80 dozens with standard deviation of 9. Based on this data, which of the following is true?

(Given $t_{25}(0.05) = 2.06$)

[t = t-test statistic]

Which of the following are the assumptions underlying the use of t-distribution?

(A) The variance of population is known.

(B) The samples are drawn from a normally distributed population.

(C) Sample standard deviation is an unbiased estimate of the population variance.

(D) It depends on a parameter known as degree of freedom.
