Solution

The correct answer is C. Both the t-distribution and the standard z-distribution are continuous distributions. This means that they can take on any value within a certain range. Both distributions are also symmetric and bell-shaped, but the t-distribution is more spread out and has heavier tails than the z-distribution. The other options are incorrect because neither distribution is skewed to the left or right, and while they are both types of distributions, they are not considered "families" of distributions.
