We consider the statistical properties over disordered samples of the overlap distribution $P_{cal J}(q)$ which plays the role of an order parameter in spin-glasses. We show that near zero temperature (i) the {it typical} overlap distribution is exponentially small in the central region of $-1<q<1$: $ P^{typ}(q) = e^{ar{ln P_{cal J}(q)}} sim e^{- eta N^{ heta} phi(q)} $, where $ heta$ is the droplet exponent defined here with respect to the total number $N$ of spins (in order to consider also fully connected models where the notion of length does not exist); (ii) the rescaled variable $v = - (ln P_{cal J}(q))/N^{ heta}$ remains an O(1) random positive variable describing sample-to sample fluctuations; (iii) the averaged distribution $ar{P_{cal J}(q)} $ is non-typical and dominated by rare anomalous samples. Similar statements hold for the cumulative overlap distribution $I_{cal J}(q_0) equiv int_{0}^{q_0} dq P_{cal J}(q) $. These results are derived explicitly for the spherical mean-field model with $ heta=1/3$, $phi(q)=1-q^2 $, and the random variable $v$ corresponds to the rescaled difference between the two largest eigenvalues of GOE random matrices. Then we compare numerically the typical and averaged overlap distributions for the long-ranged one-dimensional Ising spin-glass with random couplings decaying as $J(r) propto r^{-sigma}$ for various values of the exponent $sigma$, corresponding to various droplet exponents $ heta(sigma)$, and for the mean-field SK-model (corresponding formally to the $sigma=0$ limit of the previous model). Our conclusion is that future studies on spin-glasses should measure the {it typical} values of the overlap distribution or of the cumulative overlap distribution to obtain clearer conclusions on the nature of the spin-glass phase.
