D)sampling distribution of

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability distribution of all possible values of the sample proportion is the sampling distribution of the sample proportion. Therefore, choice D is correct. Choice A is incorrect because a probability density function is used for continuous random variables, while the sample proportion is a discrete random variable. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to a different variable, and choice C is also incorrect because it implies that the probability distribution is something different from a sampling distribution.
