6. What's the difference between a statistic and a parameter? A. There's no difference, they mean the same. B. A parameter describes an aspect of a sample, a statistic describes an aspect of a population. C. A parameter describes an aspect of a population, a statistic describes an aspect of a sample. D. A parameter describes the test in an experiment, a statistic describes an observation.

What is the difference between a parameter and a statistic? A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. A parameter is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample. A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. A statistic is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured. A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample. A statistic is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured. A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample. A parameter is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured.
