Probability and Statistics
A sampling distribution is the probability distribution of a statistic obtained through a large number of samples drawn from a specific population. It provides insight into the variability and characteristics of the statistic, such as the mean or proportion, allowing for inferences to be made about the population from which the samples are drawn. Understanding sampling distributions is essential for statistical inference, hypothesis testing, and making predictions based on discrete random variables.
