A frequency distribution of the results of all possible samples of a specified size that could be obtained from a population containing some specific parameter is the sampling distribution. The population distribution refers to the distribution of the entire population, not just the samples. Sample size refers to the number of observations in a single sample, not the frequency distribution of all possible samples. Sample deviation rate is not a commonly used term in statistics.
