Since it is not known whether the Calculus score and Statistics score by a randomly selected student is normally distributed, it is important that the sample size is at least 30 in order to use Central Limit Theorem so that the mean Calculus score and the mean Statstics score by students are approximately normal. 1.6449 0.05
