Final answer:

Any 1 sample statistic from an SRS has a predictable pattern of variability if we choose a large number of samples from the same population. The variability decreases as the sample size increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Statistics.

When we choose a large number of samples from the same population, any 1 sample statistic from an SRS (Simple Random Sampling) will have a predictable pattern of variability. This means that the sample statistics will vary consistently and predictably.

For example, if we take multiple samples of the same size from a population and calculate the mean, the distribution of those sample means will be approximately normal. The mean of the sample means will equal the population mean, and the standard deviation of the sample means called the standard error of the mean, will decrease as the sample size increases.
