this is false... a parameter is a measure of a mean or mode,
a measurable characteristic of a sample is called a statistic.

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.
A numerical measure computed to describe a characteristic of a population is called?
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.
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
Does each sample have measurable mass?
The answer depends on sample of WHAT!
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.
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance is one that?
Density is a physical property; physical properties are measurable.
What is an observable or measurable characteristic of an individual organism called?
Traits
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 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!)
A numerical measure computed to describe a characteristic of a population is called?
parameter
The characteristic or value of a population that is under consideration is called a 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.
