(c) The t-distribution is bell shaped

(e) The t-distribution has more values at the extremes than a standard normal distribution

(f) The t-distribution is centered at 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When the sample size is small or population variance is unknown, and we have to estimate population parameter then t - probability distribution is used.

The t-distribution has properties as follows:

The mean of t-distribution is 0. Thus, option (f) is correct. t-distribution is normal. Thus, option (c) is correct. As compare to standard normal distribution, t-distribution has more values at the extremes. Thus, option (e) is correct.
