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.
a summary measure that is computed to describe a characteristic of an entire population is called:
this is false... a parameter is a measure of a mean or mode, a measurable characteristic of a sample is called a statistic.

A statistic is a summary measure of some characteristic of a population. If you were to take repeated samples from the population you would not get the same statistic each time - it would vary. And the set of values you would get is its sampling distribution.

In general when you take a sample of values of a random variable you will find that those values lie around some central value that is characteristic of the total population for the random variable. A measure of central tendancy (such as a sample mean, sample mode or sample median) is a statistic which is intended to estimate the central value of the population using the values in the sample in some way.
The test statistic is a measure of how close the sample proportion is to the null value.
A numerical value used as a summary measure for a population of data is called a statistic. It helps to describe or understand the data more easily by providing a single value that represents the entire dataset.

The amplitude of a wave describes the greatest distance a wave vibrates from its resting position. It is the measure of the height or intensity of the wave.
