What does population distrubition mean?
In statistics, the population distribution of some variable within a population of some units is the set of values that the variable can take and how frequntly it takes that value. Population need not have anything to do with people. It is simply a way of referring to the totality of the things that you are studying. For example, if you were studying the number of apples on each tree in an apple orchard, your population would be the apple trees in the orchard, the variable would be the number of apples per tree and the population distribution would be the number of trees that had 0 apples, the number that had 1 apple, 2 apples and so on. To make that information more manageable you may collapse the distribution to 0 apples, 1 to 25 apples, 26 to 50 apples and so on.

What does population size means?
Statistics often requires one to make estimates of some measure (variable) about a set of units. The total number of such units is the population size. Note that population, in this context, need not refer to people. If the study is about household expenditure on food (in some area), then the population is all households and the population size is the number of households (in that area). If the study is about diversity of insects in a field, the population may be all 1-metre squares in the field, and the size of the population will be the number of such plots - which will equal the area of the field.

In statistics what is the word for the group you are interested in learning about?
In statistics, it is called the 'population'. There are two types of populations: finite and infinite. A finite population can simply be counted such as the number of students in a class. An infinite population, on the other hand, cannot be counted or is very difficult to count such as the residents in a city. Statistics is all about infinite populations because we need to make conclusions about the entire population based on observations of a small sample of that population.
