The difference between the sample mean and the population mean is called the:""

A. population deviation.
B. population standard deviation.
C. standard error of the mean.
D. sampling error."

Answered by admin @ 26/11/2021

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is difference between the sample mean and the population mean, then it is known as "Sampling error".

As we know that standard error of the mean is given by

$\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

and the sampling error refers to the difference in the value of sample mean and the value of population mean.

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
