Question

You randomly observe purchases at a candy store and record the weight of each bag of candy with 100 different customers. You find the proportion of weights greater than 2 pounds. Is investigating this sample proportion the same as investigating the sampling distribution of the proportion?

C.
No, the sampling distribution of the proportion is the distribution of the proportions from all samples, not just one.
