Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is represented by the formula $\sigma / \sqrt { N }$. Option D matches this formula and is therefore the correct choice. Option A represents the standard deviation of the population, not the sampling distribution. Option B is not a valid formula for the standard deviation. Option C is close to the correct formula, but it is missing the square root around the entire fraction.
