What else can I help you with?
Does a parameter describe a population or a sample?
A parameter describes a population. A statistic describes a sample.
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.
Is a sample a number describing some characteristic of a statistic?
No. A statistic is a number describing a characteristic of a sample.
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.
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!)
Does a parameter describe a population or a sample?
A parameter describes a population. A statistic describes a sample.
What word means any measurable characteristic?
You could describe any measurable characteristic as a trait.
Is a single number characteristic describe a population is called a parameter?
Parameter
The characteristic or value of a population that is under consideration is called a population?
The characteristic or value of a population that is under consideration is called a parameter. It represents a specific aspect of the entire population and is often unknown and estimated using sample data. Parameters can include means, proportions, variances, and other measures that describe the population.
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.
Does each sample have measurable mass?
Yes, each sample has a measurable mass, which can be determined using a balance or scale. The mass is an important property that can provide information about the quantity of material present in the sample.
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance is one that?
Density is a physical property; physical properties are measurable.
Is a sample a number describing some characteristic of a statistic?
No. A statistic is a number describing a characteristic of a sample.

What is an observable or measurable characteristic of an individual organism called?
Traits
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.
A numerical measure computed to describe a characteristic of a population is called?
parameter
