SECTION 1: SAMPLING DISTRIBUTIONS (Questions
1-10)
Q1. What is a sampling distribution?
A) The distribution of values in a single sample
B) The distribution of a sample statistic (e.g., mean or proportion) over all
possible samples of the same size from a population
C) The distribution of population parameters
D) The distribution of individual observations in the population
Correct Answer: B. The distribution of a sample statistic (e.g., mean
or proportion) over all possible samples of the same size from a
population
Rationale: A sampling distribution is the probability distribution of a sample
statistic (such as the sample mean or sample proportion) based on all
possible random samples of the same size taken from a population .
Q2. The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean (μ_x̄)
is equal to:
A) The sample mean (x̄)
B) The population mean (μ)
C) The population standard deviation (σ)
D) The sample standard deviation (s)
Correct Answer: B. The population mean (μ)
