Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sampling distribution of the mean includes all possible values of the sample mean and the likelihood (probability) of each of these values occurring when samples are randomly drawn from the population under the null hypothesis (H0). This encompasses both the range of possible sample means and their associated probabilities, making option E correct.
