6.1 POPULATION AND SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION
6.1.1 Population Distribution
Suppose there are only five students in an advanced statistics class and the midterm scores
of these five students are:
70 78 80 80 95
Let x denote the score of a student.

Definition:
The sampling distribution of x is a distribution obtained by
using the means computed from random samples of a
specific size taken from a population.

SQQS1013 Elementary Statistics
Reconsider the population of midterm scores of five students given in example 1. Let say we draw all possible samples of three numbers each and compute the mean.
Total number of samples = 5C3 = 10)!35(!3
!5 =−
Suppose we assign the letters A, B, C, D and E to scores of the five students, so that
A = 70, B = 78, C=80, D = 80, E = 95
Then the 10 possible samples of three scores each are
ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, ADE, BCD, BCE, BDE, CDE

• Sampling Error
Sampling error is the difference between the value of a sample statistic and
the value of the corresponding population parameter. In the case of mean,
Sampling error = µ−x

The spread of the sampling distribution of x is smaller than the spread of the corresponding population distribution, σσ <x .
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x decreases as the
sample size increase.
The standard deviation of the sample means is called the standard error of the mean.

• Most of the time the population from which the samples are selected is not
normally distributed. In such cases, the shape of the sampling distribution of
x is inferred from central limit theorem.
Central limit theorem
For a large sample size, the sampling distribution of x is approximately normal, irrespective of the population distribution.
The sample size is usually considered to be large if 30≥n .
