    Basic test - single sample

    For unknown Sigma
    There is t test statistic given
    But it is also mentioned that for large sample N(0,1) can be used in place of t.

    How large this sample size could be in this case?

    And yes using t test would be appropriate. Please confirm is it correct??

    If you look at the t tables on page 163 of the Tables you can see how close the t values are to the N(0,1) distribution (which is given at the bottom of that page).

    So you mean both methods are appropriate??

    For large samples yes.
