Answer:

The t-distribution is a kind of probability distribution that is bell-shaped (like the normal distribution) but has a good number of values at the tails, making the tails fatter and the curve flatter.

Explanation:

The t-distribution is a kind of probability distribution that is bell-shaped (like the normal distribution) but has a good number of values at the tails, making the tails fatter and the curve flatter.

The smaller the sample size n, the flatter the t-distribution curve but the larger the sample size n, the closer in identity to the normal distribution, the t-distribution will be.
