Suppose you\'re in a class of 30 students. The instructor takes a simple random sample of 5
students and observes their ages. Imagine all of the different samples possible (there are 142,506
such samples possible!). Let X denote the oldest age in your sample. The distribution of all
values taken by X in all possible samples of 5 students selected from the 30 students in your
class is
A. the probability that X is obtained.
B. the sampling distribution of X.
C. the standard deviation of values.
D. the parameter
Solution
Answer: B. the sampling distribution of X..
