The mean of the sampling+distribution of the mean is the mean of the population from which the scores were sampled.
Therefore, if a population has a mean mu, then the mean of the sampling distribution of the mean is also mu. The symbol mu%2AM is used to refer to the mean of the sampling distribution of the mean.
Therefore, the formula for the mean of the sampling distribution of the mean can be written as:
mu%2AM=mu
so, your answer is A. 10
