Suppose you are interested in knowing the average cholesterol level of all women between the ages of 21 and 30 who live in College Station. Everyone in a class (100 students) takes a random sample of 50 females in the College Station area between the ages of 21 and 30. Each student calculates the average cholesterol in their sample. Jenna is one of the students in this class and she makes a histogram of the 50 cholesterol levels in her sample. What kind of distribution would be displayed in Jenna's histogram?

A. Population Distribution
	b.	Sampling Distribution
	c.	Data Distribution
	d.	More than one of the above
	e.	None of the above
