A) For a sample size n > 30, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed.
B)For a sample size n < 30, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed.
C) For any sample size n, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed.
D) For a sample size n < 50, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed.
