Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sampling distribution of a statistic, such as the mean or proportion, is based on repeated sampling from a population. Therefore, the population being referred to in this question is the one from which samples are drawn to create the sampling distribution. Choice D, "sample", refers to the group of individuals selected from the population to create the distribution. The other choices ("population", "random", and "observed") do not accurately describe what is being referred to in this context.
