Abstract
IN statistical theory it has been for some time a discipline for statisticians to distinguish by appropriate notation a population parameter that is being estimated and the measure obtained from a sample that is to be its estimate. It is now, for example, common for a true population correlation coefficient to be denoted by and r to be our sample estimate of it.
