Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability distribution of the sample mean is called the sampling distribution of the mean. This distribution represents all possible sample means that could be obtained from a population. Therefore, the correct answer is C, sampling distribution of 11ea78b9_2e16_a44d_8379_afff79167220_TB4388_11. A refers to the standard error of the mean, B refers to the expected value of the variable, and D is not a complete and accurate description of the distribution.
