Document Summary

Sampling distribution, sampling error, and non-sampling errors: population probability distribution, sampling distribution. Population probability distribution: the population probability distribution is the probability distribution of the population data. Sampling distribution x: the probability distribution of x. It lists the various values that can assume and the probability of each value of. In general, the probability distribution of a sample statistic is called its sampling distribution is called its sampling distribution x. Sampling error and non-sampling errors: sampling error is the difference between the value of a sample statistic and the value of the corresponding population parameter. X: sampling error , assuming that the sample is random and no non-sampling error has been made, the errors that occur in the collection, recording, and tabulation of data are called non- sampling errors. This formula is used when n /n . 05, where n is the population size.
