 How to construct a Sampling
Distribution of the Sample Means from a
Given Population
1. Determine the number of samples of size n
from the population of size N.
2. List all the possible samples and compute
the mean of each sample.
3. Construct a frequency distribution of the
sample means obtained in no. 2
4. Construct a probability distribution of the
