This document discusses sampling distributions and simulations. It summarizes the results of two simulations: 1) A simulation of sampling 20 individuals to estimate the mean height of a population. The distribution was centered at 64 inches and reasonably symmetric. 2) A simulation of sampling 5 individuals to estimate the mean number of children in a population. The distribution was roughly symmetric with a single peak at 6, with values mostly between 4 and 8.
