Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The definition given in the question describes the sampling distribution. The other options are not correct based on the given definition. Confidence level refers to the degree of certainty we have in the estimate of the population parameter, not the distribution of sample statistics. Normal distribution is a specific type of probability distribution with defined parameters, but the question doesn't state that the sampling distribution follows a normal distribution. Standard deviation and standard values distribution are not related to the definition given in the question.
