Explaining significant elements of the sampling distribution of the sample mean when sampling from a Normal distribution. Please explain this concept.
Added by Kristin H.
Step 1
Suppose we have a population with a normal distribution, characterized by a mean $\mu$ and a standard deviation $\sigma$. This can be represented as $N(\mu, \sigma^2)$. Show more…

How does the sample size affect how close to normal a distribution of either sample means or sample pro-portions will be? What are the means and standard deviations of the distributions in each case?
Adi S.
What is meant by the statement that the sample mean has a sampling distribution?
Explain the concept of the theoretical SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION. In your answer: (a) describe what the central limit theorem tells us about the sampling distribution; (b) identify the standard deviation of the sampling distribution and describe how this is related to sample size; (c) provide your OWN EXAMPLE to illustrate the concept of the theoretical sampling distribution.
