a summary measure that is computed to describe a characteristic of an entire population is called:
parameter
Not necessarily.For instance, one can calculate a so-called 't' statistic as a way of testing an hypothesis about one or two population means. Notice that in this case the statistic does not describe a population characteristic.
this is false... a parameter is a measure of a mean or mode, a measurable characteristic of a sample is called a statistic.
No, it is not. A descriptive statistic is a measure such as mean, standard deviation etc., computed from a set of observations. A p value is something that is obtained by computing a test statistic (using a formula which may involve mean, variance etc.,) and finding the probability of obtaining a value as great as or greater than the one actually obtained. In other words, a p value is a probability and must lie between 0 and 1 whereas a descriptive statistic is not a probability. It is just a number used to describe a specific characteristic of a set of sata.

you cant really measure those but you can measure blizzards rain hail humidity high and low tides moisture humidity all kinds of things
== == Volts are a measure of electrical "pressure" differential.
A statistic is a summary measure of some characteristic of a population. If you were to take repeated samples from the population you would not get the same statistic each time - it would vary. And the set of values you would get is its sampling distribution.
frequency
They do not. Population size does not affect the sample size. The variability of the characteristic that you are trying to measure and the required accuracy will determine the appropriate sample size.
The answer will depend on what characteristic of the thumb you wish to measure: length, width, mass, volume, resistance to pressure, etc.The answer will depend on what characteristic of the thumb you wish to measure: length, width, mass, volume, resistance to pressure, etc.The answer will depend on what characteristic of the thumb you wish to measure: length, width, mass, volume, resistance to pressure, etc.The answer will depend on what characteristic of the thumb you wish to measure: length, width, mass, volume, resistance to pressure, etc.
The answer depends on what characteristic you wish to measure: its length, width, thickness, density, rigidity, etc.The answer depends on what characteristic you wish to measure: its length, width, thickness, density, rigidity, etc.The answer depends on what characteristic you wish to measure: its length, width, thickness, density, rigidity, etc.The answer depends on what characteristic you wish to measure: its length, width, thickness, density, rigidity, etc.
An arithmetic mean is a measure of central tendency of a set of values computed by dividing the sum of the values by the number of values.
Apart from the fact that the shape is called a quadrilateral, not quadralateral, the answer depends on which characteristic you want to measure.
