Document Summary

The sampling distribution of the sample mean: Parameter: a constant, although its value may be unknown; a statistic is a random variable whose value depends on the chosen random sample. Estimator: when a statistic is used to estimate a parameter. Estimate: a particular value of the estimator. Sampling distribution: a prob. distribution for all possible values of the statistic computed from a sample size n. Sampling distribution of a sample mean: x is the prob. distribution for all possible values of the random variable x computed from a sample size n from a pop. w/ mean & standard deviation . Steps to obtaining the sample distribution of the mean: obtain the random sample of size n, compute the sample mean, assuming that we are sampling from a finite pop. repeat step 1 & Step 2 until all distinct simple random samples of size n have been obtained.
