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.
