Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parameters are characteristics of a population, while statistics are characteristics of a sample. Similarly, populations are the full set of individuals or objects being studied, while samples are subsets of the population that are used to draw conclusions about the entire population. Therefore, the relationship between statistics and parameters is similar to the relationship between samples and populations.
