Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the sampling distribution of the sample mean. a. The mean of the sampling distribution is the same as the mean of the population. b. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution (standard error) is the same as the standard deviation of the population. c. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution (standard error) equals the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size. d. The sampling distribution is approximately normal if either the population is normal or the sample size is greater than or equal to 30.
