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.

Why the random sample is important in design of experiment?

There are circumstances when it is important and others when it is not. If, for example, you wanted a sample of all schools in the country, it would make more sense to go for cluster sampling. A lot of market research work will require quota sampling. So the supremacy of a random sample is a myth.
