If neither distribution can be used, explain why. Interpret the results. In a random sample of 42 people, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.7 and the standard deviation was 6.03. Which distribution should be used to construct the confidence interval? Choose the correct answer below. A. Use a t-distribution because the sample is random, the population is normal, and o is unknown. B. Use a t-distribution because the sample is random, n2 30, and o is unknown. OC. Use a normal distribution because the sample is random, n2 30, and o is known. D. Use a normal distribution because the sample is random, the population is normal, and o is known. E.
