Question

which type of variability is described in the example? the true weight of a population is 150 lbs. you take a sample and find the mean weight for the sample is 151 lbs. a induced variability b natural variability c sampling variability d measurement variability

Explanation:

Sampling variability occurs when different samples are taken from the same population, resulting in different sample - statistics. Here, the true population mean weight is 150 lbs, but the sample mean weight is 151 lbs due to the randomness of the sample selection. Induced variability is caused by external factors in an experiment, natural variability is the inherent variability within a population without sampling, and measurement variability is related to errors in the measurement process.

Answer:

C. sampling variability
