Abstract
The statistical properties of quantum observables such as means, dispersions, and highest moments are shown to be interpreted in view of the standard probability distributions. These distributions form a bistochastic matrix constructed using the eigenvectors of the matrix describing the observable under consideration. Examples of spin systems are studied in detail.
