6-4 Sampling Distributions & Estimators
Because we seldom have access to the entire population, we need to develop the relationship between the population parameters (what we want to know but can directly compute) and the sample statistics (what we can compute but know are uncertain). That relationship is called the Central Limit Theorem.
