A frequency distribution is a distribution of observed responses that counts the occurrences of different values of one variable and expresses these counts in percentage terms. Sampling distribution refers to the distribution of a statistic based on random samples from a population. Random distribution is not a commonly used term in statistics. Systematic distribution refers to a pattern in which data is distributed based on a systematic process or rule. Chi-square distribution refers to a distribution that arises in hypothesis testing and is used to test the goodness of fit or independence of categorical data.
