Question 1136414: Describe the sampling distribution of P HAT with caret based on large samples of size n -- that ​is, given the​ mean, the standard​ deviation, and the​ (approximate) shape of the distribution of P HAT with caret when large samples of size n are​ (repeatedly) selected from the binomial distribution with a probability of success p. Let q=1-p.
The mean of the sampling distribution of p HAT is?

The mean is np, and with large samples (especially for very small p or q), it is a normal distribution.
The variance is np(1-p) or npq
the std dev is sqrt (np(1-p)) or sqrt (npq)
