Intro to Probability for Business
A sampling distribution is the probability distribution of a statistic obtained by selecting random samples from a population. It reflects the variability of the statistic, such as the mean or proportion, across different samples, and is crucial for making inferences about the population based on sample data. Understanding sampling distributions helps in assessing how sample statistics behave, particularly when considering larger samples and the application of various statistical methods.
