Why Study Sampling
Distributions


Sample Statistics are Used to Estimate
Population Parameters
 E.g., X  50 estimates the population mean 
Problem: Different Samples Provide Different
Estimates



Large sample gives better estimate; large sample
costs more
How good is the estimate?
Approach to Solution: Theoretical Basis is
Sampling Distribution

How Large is Large Enough?

For Most Distributions, n>30

For Fairly Symmetric Distributions, n>15

For Normal Distribution, the Sampling
Distribution of the Mean is Always Normally
Distributed Regardless of the Sample Size

This is a property of sampling from a normal
population distribution and is NOT a result of the
central limit theorem
