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.


The usual sampling distributionof the difference between means is a what?

There is no such thing as "the usual sampling distribution". Different distributions of the original random variables will give different distributions for the difference between their means.There is no such thing as "the usual sampling distribution".

Difference between classical approach and relative approach of probability with example?

Classical approach has possible outcomes which are known with certainity ie sampling distribution is known. Relative approach is an approach in which probability values are based on historical interest.


What is the difference between probability distribution and probability density function?

A probability density function assigns a probability value for each point in the domain of the random variable. The probability distribution assigns the same probability to subsets of that domain.

What are the differences between probability sampling and non probability sampling?

In a probability sample, each unit has the same probability of being included in the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, each sample of that size from the population has the same probability of being selected. This is not true for non-probability sampling.


What difference between Statistical Sampling and non statistical sampling?

an approach to sampling that has the characteristics of being randomly selected and the use of probability theory to evaluate sample results. Whereas non-statistical sampling is therefore any sampling approach that does not have both of the characteristicss of statistical sampling. I hope this will help....
