Theoretically, it is the distribution of a statistic based on all possible samples of a given size. In practice, it may be the distribution under repeated samples.
When the population standard deviation is known, the sample distribution is a normal distribution if the sample size is sufficiently large, typically due to the Central Limit Theorem. If the sample size is small and the population from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed, the sample distribution will also be normal. In such cases, statistical inference can be performed using z-scores.
A random distribution is a random sample set displayed in the form of a bell curve. See random sample set.
The t distribution is a probability distribution that is symmetric and bell-shaped, similar to the normal distribution, but has heavier tails. It is used in statistics, particularly for small sample sizes, to estimate population parameters when the population standard deviation is unknown. The t distribution accounts for the additional uncertainty introduced by estimating the standard deviation from the sample. As the sample size increases, the t distribution approaches the normal distribution.
The sampling distribution of the sample mean (( \bar{x} )) will be approximately normally distributed if the sample size is sufficiently large, typically due to the Central Limit Theorem. This theorem states that regardless of the population's distribution, the sampling distribution of the sample mean will tend to be normal as the sample size increases, generally n ≥ 30 is considered adequate. However, if the population distribution is already normal, the sampling distribution of ( \bar{x} ) will be normally distributed for any sample size.
A set of probabilities over the sampling distribution of the mean.
The distribution of the sample mean is bell-shaped or is a normal distribution.
The distribution of sample means will not be normal if the number of samples does not reach 30.

The mean of a sample is a single value and so its distribution is a single value with probability 1.
No, it is not.
The Central Limit Theorem states that the sampling distribution of the sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger — no matter what the shape of the population distribution. This fact holds especially true for sample sizes over 30.

Yes. You could have a biased sample. Its distribution would not necessarily match the distribution of the parent population.

The F distribution is used to test whether two population variances are the same. The sampled populations must follow the normal distribution. Therefore, as the sample size increases, the F distribution approaches the normal distribution.
