Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sampling distribution of a statistic is the distribution of values taken by the statistic in all possible samples of the same size from the same population. Therefore, D is the best choice as it directly addresses the definition of the term. The other options are probability distributions that may be relevant to certain statistics but do not directly answer the definition of the term.
