Terminology If a numerical measure describes an aspect of a sample, is it a statistic or a parameter?
Whether the statement is a statistic or parameter.
Solution: A numerical measure describing an aspect of a sample is a statistic.
A sample statistic is a numerical measure that describes an aspect of a sample and a population parameter is a numerical measure that describes an aspect of a population. Parameter is drawn from the measurements of the units of population and on the other hand, the statistic is drawn from the measurements of the elements of the sample.
