Which of the following represents the standard deviation of the sampling distribution?
A)range
B)standard median
C)dispersion
D)standard error of the mean

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is represented by the standard error of the mean. This is because the standard error of the mean measures the variability of the sample means around the true population mean, and is calculated by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. The range represents the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset, and does not relate to the sampling distribution. The standard median is not a commonly used statistical term, and it is unclear how it relates to the sampling distribution. Dispersion can refer to various measures of variability, including range, standard deviation, and interquartile range, so it is too vague to be the correct answer.
