    Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since we have given that

    Mean of students' age = 24 years

    Standard deviation of students' age = 3 years

    Sample size = number of students = 350

    So, according to options,

    a. The shape of the sampling distribution is approximately normal.

    It is true as n >30, we will use normal.

    b. The mean of the sampling distribution is approximately 24-years old.

    It is true as it is given.

    c. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is equal to 5 years.

    It is not true as it is given 3 years.

    Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
