Chapter 10: Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem

465

Summary

The sampling distributions of both single and two proportions and means

can be investigated through

Simulations

Histograms

Descriptive statistics

Technology

Here, we consider only sampling populations that are infinitely large. Other

formulas can be presented that would accommodate a finite population.

However, the finite population analysis will not be presented in this text.

Again, care should always be taken when computing probabilities.
