Correct. When we don’t know the value of σ, we estimate it with s, the sample standard deviation.

Correct. Because we use “s” to estimate σ, \( \frac{ \overline{x}- \mu _{o} }{ \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} } } \) does not have a standard Normal distribution. Rather it has a t distribution.

Correct. Every t distribution is specified by its degrees of freedom. For t = \( \frac{ \overline{x}- \mu _{o} }{ \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} } } \), df = n – 1.

Correct. Because s is an estimate σ, it has error or variability. As a consequence, the t used in inference has to be more spread out than the standard Normal used when we know the value of σ.
