Which of the following are correct?
(A) The central limit theorem (CLT) states that the sampling distribution of the sample approaches a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger, no matter what is the shape of the population distribution.
(B) The measurable characteristic of population is called parameter.
(C) The population focuses on the identification of the characteristic.
(D) The sample makes inference about the population.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
(A) states the CLT correctly: the sampling distribution of the sample mean tends to normality for large regardless of the population shape.
(B) is the standard definition of a parameter.
(C) and (D) reflect the usual population-versus-sample contrast: the population identifies characteristics, while the sample is used to infer about the population.
All four are correct.
Note: Statement (A) omits the word 'mean' after 'sample'; we have read it as the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
