Sampling distribution. In statistics, a sampling distribution or finite-sample distribution is the probability distribution of a given statistic based on a random sample. Sampling distributions are important in statistics because they provide a major simplification en route to statistical inference.
Suppose that we draw all possible samples of size n from a given population. Suppose further that we compute a statistic (e.g., a mean, proportion, standard deviation) for each sample. The probability distribution of this statistic is called a sampling distribution.o define our normal distribution, we need to know both the mean of the sampling distribution and the standard deviation. Finding the mean of the sampling distribution is easy, since it is equal to the mean of the population. Thus, the mean of the sampling distribution is equal to 80.
