I’m a bit confused about the options. I thought the mean of the sample means was just the population mean, but I’m not sure why they have other options.

I practiced a similar question, and I remember that the Central Limit Theorem states the mean of the sample means equals the population mean. So, A) seems right.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about the mean of sample means being the population mean. Does that mean A is correct?

I think the mean of the sample means should be the same as the population mean, so I’m leaning towards A) 42.
