The hypothetical result of an infinite sample from a given p

The hypothetical result of an infinite sample from a given population and calculating of some statistic from those infinite samples is a:

Sampling distribution

Sampling error

Standard error

Standard sample

Solution

The hypothetical result of an infinite sample from a given population and calculating of some statistic from those infinite samples is a:

Sampling distribution

Sampling error

Standard error

Standard sample

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.
