Overview
When we want information about the population proportion of successes, we often take a simple random sample and use the sample proportion to estimate the unknown parameter . The sampling distribution of the sample proportion describes how the statistic varies in all possible samples of the same size from the population. In this lesson, students will explore the shape and variability of this distribution, and learn how to evaluate claims using the sampling distribution.
