Only if you make it unbiased. Samples can be weird. If you make it unbiased, then yes.
A sample is Unbiased if everyone in the sample have an equal chance of being selected
The sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean because the average of all the possible sample means of size n is equal to the population mean.
It is a biased estimator. S.R.S leads to a biased sample variance but i.i.d random sampling leads to a unbiased sample variance.

The relations depend on what measures. The sample mean is an unbiased estimate for the population mean, with maximum likelihood. The sample maximum is a lower bound for the population maximum.

The proof that the sample variance is an unbiased estimator involves showing that, on average, the sample variance accurately estimates the true variance of the population from which the sample was drawn. This is achieved by demonstrating that the expected value of the sample variance equals the population variance, making it an unbiased estimator.

No, it is biased.
The sample variance is considered an unbiased estimator of the population variance because it corrects for the bias introduced by estimating the population variance from a sample. When calculating the sample variance, we use ( n-1 ) (where ( n ) is the sample size) instead of ( n ) in the denominator, which compensates for the degree of freedom lost when estimating the population mean from the sample. This adjustment ensures that the expected value of the sample variance equals the true population variance, making it an unbiased estimator.
They are samples from a population, but otherwise they are not similar.

Yes, the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean. This means that, on average, the sample mean will equal the true population mean when taken from a large number of random samples. In other words, as the sample size increases, the expected value of the sample mean converges to the population mean, making it a reliable estimator in statistical analysis.
Enough data to be reprsentative Fair questions and appropriate answer choices or measure of answer An unbiased sample Conclusions that reflect the study accurately and not beyond the limits of the study.
Yes, there is a mathematical proof that demonstrates the unbiasedness of the sample variance. This proof shows that the expected value of the sample variance is equal to the population variance, making it an unbiased estimator.
It means you can take a measure of the variance of the sample and expect that result to be consistent for the entire population, and the sample is a valid representation for/of the population and does not influence that measure of the population.
