Answer : We estimate the population standard deviation based on the sample standard deviation.
( Explanation: we know the, usually population standard deviation is known. But when the sample size will large. That time they will be mention that used the sample standard deviation (s) as an estimate for (σ) and proceeded as before to calculate a confidence interval with close enough results. that time you should used student's t test.)
