Two independent random samples of size n1 = 50 and n2 = 75 are drawn from two very large populations: population 1 and population 2. both populations are right skewed. is the use of t procedures still valid?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

You should only use t procedures when the sample sizes are less than 30, as that is when the Central Limit Theorem kicks in.

Essentially, t procedures are good for small samples while z procedures are better for larger samples.
