5794205760statisticNumerical description of a sample characteristic1
5794207478sampling variabilitythe value of a statistic varies in repeated random sampling2
5794208034sampling distributionthe distribution of values taken by the statistic in all possible samples of the same size from the same population3
5794208781unbiased estimatorThe mean of its sampling distribution is equal to the true value of the parameter being estimated4
5794218020variability of a statisticDescribed by the spread of its sampling distribution . This spread is determined by the sampling design and the size of the sample. Larger samples give smaller spread5

5831347370Central Limit Theoremif the population distribution is not Normal then THIS states x-bar will be an approximately Normal distribution if the sample size n is greater than or equal to 30.22
