See the BOL...
Sample % of the database
Generate distribution statistics by sampling the percentage of data in the tables. The higher the percentage, the more accurate the statistics, but the longer the sampling takes. If the specified value does not generate a sufficient sample, SQL Server determines an adequate sample size automatically. Valid values range from 1 through 100.
Its all depends... how is your system?
HTH.
Thanx.
