    Use the normal distribution if the population standard deviation is known.

    Use the student's t distribution when the population standard deviation is unknown.

    Explanation:

    A mound-shaped distribution refers to the normal distribution.

    A good sample size for testing against the normal distribution should be

    n > = 30.

    The condition for the sample size is satisfied.

    However, we are not given the population standard deviation, therefore it is assumed to be unknown.

    Therefore the student's t distribution should be used.
