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.
The magnitude of difference between the statistic (point estimate) and the parameter (true state of nature), . This is estimated using the critical statistic and the standard error.
Parameter is any attribute Statistic are the measured values of a parameter. A statistic is a sample value such as the average height of a group of students. A parameter is a functional constant such as the mean of a normal distribution. Statistics are often used to estimate parameters. For instance, a sample average is an estimate of the mean.
The population is a group of interest, such as the people who filled out a recent survey about their age. The parameter is the descriptive measure of that population. So in this example, a parameter could be the average age of the people who filled out the survey.
A parameter is a variable which takes different values and, as it does, it affects the values of some other variable or variables.
