Sampling distribution in statistics works by providing the probability distribution of a statistic based on a random sample. An example of this is figuring out the probability of running out of water on a camping trip.

In statistics what does SE stand for. Someone asked this question and I have the answer can you find the person who posted this question?
SE stands for ''standard error'' in statistics. Thanx Sylvia It is the same as the standard deviation of a sampling distribution, such as the sampling distribution of the mean.
What is the difference between a probability distribution and sampling distribution?
A sampling distribution function is a probability distribution function. Wikipedia gives this definition: In statistics, a sampling distribution is the probability distribution, under repeated sampling of the population, of a given statistic (a numerical quantity calculated from the data values in a sample). I would add that the sampling distribution is the theoretical pdf that would ultimately result under infinite repeated sampling. A sample is a limited set of values drawn from a population. Suppose I take 5 numbers from a population whose values are described by a pdf, and calculate their average (mean value). Now if I did this many times (let's say a million times, close enough to infinity) , I would have a relative frequency plot of the mean value which will be very close to the theoretical sampling pdf.
What is the difference between a population distribution and sampling distribution?
Population distribution refers to the patterns that a population creates as they spread within an area. A sampling distribution is a representative, random sample of that population.
What does the central limit theorem say about the shape of the sampling distribution of?
The central limit theorem can be used to determine the shape of a sampling distribution in which of the following scenarios?

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.

What is a sampling distribution?
The sampling distribution for a statistic is the distribution of the statistic across all possible samples of that specific size which can be drawn from the population.

The Central Limit Theorem is important in statistics because?
According to the central limit theorem, as the sample size gets larger, the sampling distribution becomes closer to the Gaussian (Normal) regardless of the distribution of the original population. Equivalently, the sampling distribution of the means of a number of samples also becomes closer to the Gaussian distribution. This is the justification for using the Gaussian distribution for statistical procedures such as estimation and hypothesis testing.
