9391585738statistica number that describes some characteristic of a sample1
9391585739sampling variabilityvalue of a statistic varies in repeated random sampling2
9391585740sampling distributionthe distribution of values taken by the statistic in all possible samples of the same size from the same population3
9391585741unbiased estimatorthe mean of its sampling distribution is equal to the true value of the parameter being estimated4
9391585742variability of a statisticthe spread of its sampling distribution. Larger samples have less variability.5
