Question

The sampling distribution of the means:

a) is useful for making inferences about all measures of central tendency

b) adopts the form of distribution from which the samples originate

c) is normal whatever the form of the distribution from which the samples originate

d) represents a theoretical distribution whose utility remains to be demonstrated in the study of descriptive statistics

e) none of these answers

Answer 1

Correct satement is

B) adopts the form of distribution from which the samples originate

Explanation. 1.Sampling distribution of sample mean , estimates the pupoulation parameter specifically population mean and sd not all measure of central tendecny.

2.Sampling distribution will normal if population distrbution was normal.If not normal , then the sample size should be at least 30 for  sampling distribution to be normal.But here no information provided about sample size or population distrbution.
