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.
Example of the difference between a parameter and a statistic?
perameter is a measure of population or universe, statistic is a measure of a sample data drawn from population
What is Confidence Intervals of Margin of Error?
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.
What is Confidence Intervals of Critical Statistic?
Confidence intervals of critical statistics provide a range of values within which we can reasonably estimate the true value of a population parameter based on our sample data. They are constructed by calculating the critical statistic, such as the mean or proportion, and then determining the upper and lower bounds of the interval using the standard error and a desired level of confidence, usually 95% or 99%. The confidence interval helps us understand the uncertainty around our estimates and provides a measure of the precision of our results.
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.
What sample statistic is used to estimate a population parameter?

What is the difference 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 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 parameter and statistics?
© The statistic describes a sample, whereas a parameter describes an entire population.© Example of statistic is, if we randomly poll voters in a particular election and determine that 55% of the population plans to vote for candidate A, then you have a statistic because we only asked a sample of the population who they are voting for, then we calculated what the population was likely to do based on the sample. Alternatively the example of parameter is, if we ask a class of third graders who likes vanilla ice cream, and 90% of them raise their hands, then we have a parameter because 90% of that class likes vanilla ice cream. We know this because you asked everyone in the population.© Statistic is a random variable. But parameter is constant, it is not a random variable.
What is Confidence Intervals of Margin of Error?
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.
When to use t statistic instead of z statistic for calculating whether a parameter falls above or below the lower confidence interval?
the standard rule of thumb is to use the t-statistic when the sample size is less than 30 or if the population standard deviation is unknown/estimated from sampling data and to use the z-statistic for 30 and above.
