Question

a corporation is interested in determining which of its stores has the highest average sale per customer. they go to one of their stores and collect the sales data for 10 customer transactions. does this represent a sampling distribution? no, because they collected 10 samples. a sampling distribution requires a single sample. no, because they only collected one sample. a sampling distribution requires repeated sampling. yes, because they only collected one sample. a sampling distribution requires repeated sampling. yes, because they collected 10 samples. a sampling distribution requires a single sample.

Explanation:

A sampling distribution is formed by repeatedly taking samples from a population. Here, only one sample (of 10 customer transactions from one store) is collected. So it does not meet the requirement of repeated sampling for a sampling distribution.

Answer:

No, because they only collected one sample. A sampling distribution requires repeated sampling.
