Question The distribution of all the distinct possible values for a statistic when calculated from samples of the same size randomly drawn from the same population is most accurately referred to as:

选项：

A.a discrete uniform distribution. B.a multivariate normal distribution. C.the sampling distribution of a statistic.

解释：

Solution

C is correct. The sampling distribution of a statistic (like a sample mean) is defined as the probability distribution of a given sample statistic when samples of the same size are randomly drawn from the same population.

A is incorrect. Discrete uniform distribution refers to the distribution of equally likely outcomes.

B is incorrect. Multivariate normal distribution specifies the probabilities for a group of related random variables.
