Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sampling distributions can be obtained empirically by determining all possible samples of size N from the population (A), calculating the statistic for each of these samples (B), and calculating the probability of each statistic value under the assumption that chance alone is operating (C). These steps collectively describe the process of forming and analyzing sampling distributions.
