What is the sampling distribution?

Distribution of a sample statistic

What is the mean of the sample proportion P^\hat{P} when sampling from a large population?

E(P^)=pE(\hat{P}) = p

What is the standard deviation of P^\hat{P} when sampling from a large population?

sd(P^)=p(1p)n\text{sd}(\hat{P}) = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

What is the combination formula for selecting xx objects from nn objects?

(nx)=n!x!(nx)!\binom{n}{x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

How is P^\hat{P} related to XX when sampling from a large population?

P^=Xn\hat{P} = \frac{X}{n} where XX is binomial
