CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
There are three “types” of probabilities we will compute:
1. Sampling from a finite population: A simple random sample
2. Sampling from a process – or an infinite population: A random sample
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SAMPLE SIZE AND THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF X-BAR (THE STANDARD ERROR OF THE MEAN)

POTENTIAL ERRORS THAT ARISE FROM SAMPLING
In practice, the planning value, p* can be chosen by one of the following procedures:
