            Bug ID: 117626
           Summary: Problems in English text related to statistics
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: msrame...@gmail.com

The English text related to statistical functions needs some cleanup, there are
several nearly identical strings which should be unified. Perhaps these are
just 3 different things, but we have 10 versions. Translation of these nearly
identical strings is a nightmare and requires to study details of these
functions.

Number 1, number 2, ... are 1 to 254 numerical arguments which portray a
sample.
Number 1, number 2, ... are numerical arguments portraying a sample of the
distribution.
Number 1, number 2, ... are numerical arguments portraying the population.
Number 1, number 2, ... are numerical arguments which portray a population.
Number 1, number 2, ... are numerical arguments which portray a population.
Number 1, number 2, ... are numerical arguments which portray a sample of a
population.
Number 1, number 2, ... are numerical arguments which portray a sample.
Number 1, number 2, ... are numerical arguments which represent a population.
Number 1, number 2;...are numeric arguments representing a population sample.
Number 1, number 2;...are numerical arguments representing a sample.

One should minimize the number of variants: 
which portray - portraying
which represent - representing
represent - portray (If these are synonyms)
a sample - a sample of the distribution - a sample of a population - a
population sample

thanks in advance
Milos
