+Distribution of **Sample** <fc #ff0000>**P**</fc>roportion<fc #ff0000>**s**</fc>, <fc #ff0000>$Ps$</fc>,
+when sampling n entities (repeatedly) from a population whose proportion is p.
+\begin{eqnarray*}
+Ps & \sim & N(p,  \frac{pq}{n}) \\
+\text{hence, } \\
+\text{standard deviation of} \\
+\text{sample proportions} & = & \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}

+Distribution of **Sample** <fc #ff0000>Means, $\overline{X}$</fc>
+when sampling a sample whose size is n from a population whose mean is $\mu$ and variance is $\sigma^2$.
+\begin{eqnarray*}
+\overline{X} & \sim & N(\mu,  \frac{\sigma^2}{n}) \\
+\text{hence, } \\
