Sampling distribution are used to: a) Estimate the number of samples or surveys to make to obtain a specified confidence in a particular statistic. b) Determine the confidence interval and the margin of error of a particular statistic. c) Conduct a hypothesis test on a particular statistic. I note that common statistics are mean and variance. However, there are sampling distributions for many statistics, including proportion and coeficient of correlation. Hypothesis testing can be one tail or two tail, and there are different approaches.
