Which one of the following statements is false? a. The standard error of a sample statistic measures, roughly, the average difference between the values of the statistic and the population parameter. b. The standard error measures the variability of a population parameter. c. The standard error of a sample proportion decreases as the sample size increases. d. Assuming a fixed value of s = sample standard deviation, the standard error of the mean decreases as the sample size increases.

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the sampling distribution of the sample mean: options: The standard error of the sample mean will decrease as the sample size increases. The standard error of the sample mean is a measure of the variability of the sample mean among repeated samples. The sample mean is unbiased for the true (unknown) population mean. The sampling distribution shows how the sample was distributed around the sample mean.
