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.

Yes, and more so for larger samples. (It follows from the Central Limit Theorem.)


Concept of Probability sampling and chi square test?

A probability sampling method is any method of sampling that utilizes some form of random selection. See: http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/sampprob.php The simple random sample is an assumption when the chi-square distribution is used as the sampling distribution of the calculated variance (s^2). The second assumption is that the particular variable is normally distributed. It may not be in the sample, but it is assumed that the variable is normally distributed in the population. For a very good discussion of the chi-square test, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson%27s_chi-square_test


What is the sampling distribution when the standard deviation is known?

When the standard deviation of a population is known, the sampling distribution of the sample mean will be normally distributed, regardless of the shape of the population distribution, due to the Central Limit Theorem. The mean of this sampling distribution will be equal to the population mean, while the standard deviation (known as the standard error) will be the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. This allows for the construction of confidence intervals and hypothesis testing using z-scores.

What distribution is a sampling distribution referring to?

A sampling distribution refers to the distribution from which data relating to a population follows. Information about the sampling distribution plus other information about the population can be inferred by appropriate analysis of samples taken from a distribution.
