About this document
Understanding Sampling Distributions by Jessica is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Researchers often study samples rather than entire populations due to limitations in time, resources or feasibility. A sample is a subset of a population that is used to gather information about and make inferences regarding the whole population. The mean of multiple samples from the same population will vary, forming a sampling distribution of the sample means. This distribution can be used to understand variability in sample means and properties of the population like its mean and variance.
