Question

The ______ of the sampling distribution of the difference is equal to ______.
A) mean; σ 
B) standard deviation; 
C) mean; 1 
D) standard deviation; 0

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference is equal to √(σ₁²/n₁ + σ₂²/n₂), where σ₁ and σ₂ are the population standard deviations and n₁ and n₂ are the sample sizes. Therefore, option B is correct as it states that the standard deviation is a non-zero value. The other options are incorrect as they do not provide the correct relation between the mean/standard deviation and the sampling distribution of the difference.
