a summary measure that is computed to describe a characteristic of an entire population is called:
paremeter
Not necessarily.For instance, one can calculate a so-called 't' statistic as a way of testing an hypothesis about one or two population means. Notice that in this case the statistic does not describe a population characteristic.
Can the median and mode be used to describe both categorical data and numerical data

Either.

Not necessarily.For instance, one can calculate a so-called 't' statistic as a way of testing an hypothesis about one or two population means. Notice that in this case the statistic does not describe a population characteristic.
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.
A parameter is a descriptor, not necessarily numerical, and not restricted to descriptions of a population. But if we are talking about a population, let us say the population of the United States, we can break it down into males and females, or children and adults, or Repbulicans, Democrats, members of other parties or members of no parties, and we would be defiing parameters of gender, age, and political affiliation.
