(a) The sample from John Hompkins has less sampling variabilitythan that from Ohio State.
(b) The sample from John Hompkins has more samplingvariability than that from Ohio State.
(c) The sample from John Hompkins has almost thesame sampling variability asthat from Ohio State.
(d) It is impossible to make any statement about the samplingvariability of the two samples since the students surveyed weredifferent.
(e) None of the above. The answer is________.

I wasn't for sure but doesn't sampling variability have to do withstandard error, which you would need a standard deviation, but thenthat doesn't quite make sense which is why I'm asking for help...
