How do we define parameter

and statistic?

Lesson 7: Parameter or Statistic

 STAT & PROB

PARAMETER

It is a measure that describes a population.

Parameters are usually denoted by Greek letters.

STATISTIC

It is a measure that describes a sample. Statistic are

usually denoted by Roman letters.
