Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sampling distribution of the sample mean shows all possible values of the sample mean, for all possible samples of a given size taken from a population. It is not a point estimator of the population mean and is not necessarily unbiased (although it may be, depending on the sampling method and population distribution). The distribution does not show the distribution of all possible values of the population mean.
