Everything about Sampling distribution
Probability distribution of the possible sample outcomes
In statistics, a sampling distribution or finite-sample distribution is the probability distribution of a given random-sample-based statistic. For an arbitrarily large number of samples where each sample, involving multiple observations, is separately used to compute one value of a statistic per sample, the sampling distribution is the probability distribution of the values that the statistic takes on. In many contexts, only one sample is observed, but the sampling distribution can be found theoretically. Wikipedia →
