How would you respond to the following argument? This talk

Chapter , Problem 9

(choose chapter or problem)

How would you respond to the following argument? This talk of sampling distributions is ridiculous! Consider Example A of Section 8.4. The experimenter found the mean number of fibers to be 24.9. How can this be a “random variable” with an associated “probability distribution” when it's just a number? The author of this book is guilty of deliberate mystification!
