General Procedure
Sampling requires that we draw successive samples from a defined population. The samples must be randomly selected and of the same size.

Calculate the mean for each sample and plot the sample means. This produces a distribution of sample means. A plot of an " infinite" number of sample means is called the sampling distribution of the mean.
