What is the the relationship between population and sample parameter and statistic?
The relations depend on what measures. The sample mean is an unbiased estimate for the population mean, with maximum likelihood. The sample maximum is a lower bound for the population maximum.
How does a parameter and a statistic differ?
A parameter is a numerical measurement of a population; a statistic is a numerical measurement of a sample.
What is the difference between a parameter and a statistic?
A parameter is a number describing something about a whole population. eg population mean or mode. A statistic is something that describes a sample (eg sample mean)and is used as an estimator for a population parameter. (because samples should represent populations!)
What is usually not possible to compute one relies on a sample statistic?
Population Parameter
A numerical measure computed to describe a characteristic of a population is called?
parameter
A parameter is a numerical descriptor that is used to describe a population or a sample?
Either.

Is a single number characteristic describe a population is called a parameter?

Can a sample statistic ever be larger than the population parameter?
Yes.
What sample statistic is used to estimate a population parameter?
A point estimate is a single value (statistic) used to estimate a population value (parameter)true apex

Population Parameter
What value does the null hypothesis make a claim about?
sample statistic
A numerical measure computed to describe a characteristic of a population is called?
parameter
What is the difference between parameter and sample?
A parameter is an attribute that refers to the entire population. (For example, the mean price of all motor vehicles in a city). A sample is collected from this population of all motor vehicles in that city to compute a statistic (here, the statistic is the average price of the vehicles in the sample) which is representative of the true price.
