Sampling ErrorSampling Error
The amount of error between a The amount of error between a sample sample statistic (M) statistic (M) and and population parameter (µ).population parameter (µ).
Distribution of Sample Means: Distribution of Sample Means: is the is the collection of sample means for all the collection of sample means for all the possible random samples of a particular size possible random samples of a particular size (n) that can be obtained (n) that can be obtained from a population.from a population.

Sampling DistributionSampling Distribution Sampling Distribution Sampling Distribution is a is a
distribution of statistics obtained distribution of statistics obtained by selecting all the possible by selecting all the possible samples of a specific size from a samples of a specific size from a population. Ex. Every distribution population. Ex. Every distribution has a mean and standard deviation. has a mean and standard deviation. The mean of all sample means is The mean of all sample means is called called Sampling Distribution. Sampling Distribution. The The mean of all standard deviations is mean of all standard deviations is called called Standard Error Standard Error of Mean of Mean ((σσMM))44

The Law of Large Numbers The Law of Large Numbers states that the larger the states that the larger the sample size (n), the more sample size (n), the more probable it is that the sample probable it is that the sample mean mean (M)(M) will be close to the will be close to the population mean population mean (µ)(µ)
