Does a parameter describe a population or a sample?
A parameter describes a population. A statistic describes a sample.
Determine whether the given is a statistic or a parameter after taking the first exam 15 of the students dropped the class?
its a parameter
Is a parameter a measurable characteristic of a sample?
this is false... a parameter is a measure of a mean or mode, a measurable characteristic of a sample is called a statistic.
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

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

Can a sample statistic ever be larger than the population parameter?
Yes.

What is the single parameter in the binomial distribution and what sample statistic would be used to estimate it?
The binomial distribution is defined by two parameters so there is not THE SINGLE parameter.
Is this a parameter or statistic a survey of 42 out of one hundreds in a dinning hall showed that 17 enjoyed their meal?
It's a statistic.
