A parameter is a descriptor, not necessarily numerical, and not restricted to descriptions of a population. But if we are talking about a population, let us say the population of the United States, we can break it down into males and females, or children and adults, or Repbulicans, Democrats, members of other parties or members of no parties, and we would be defiing parameters of gender, age, and political affiliation.

What is the probability distribution that can be describe by just one parameter?
There are probably many probability distributions that have just one parameter. The most important one for statistical analysis is probably the Student t distribution.This probability distribution is fully described by a single parameter which is often called "degrees of freedom". The parameter describes the scale of the distribution, and not the location, since the Student t distribution is always centered at zero (unlike the normal distribution, which has a scale parameter, the variance, and a location parameter, the mean).Another example of a distribution that is described with a single parameter is the exponential distribution. Unlike the Student t distribution, it is a distribution that takes only positive values.
