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.
Biased- (Not random) Unbiased-(Random) Example: (ubbiased) Woman takes random people to take a survey.
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.
