Terms in this set (14)
parameter a number that describes some characteristic of the population
--> Its value is usually unknown because we cannot examine the entire
population.
statistic a number that describes some characteristic of a sample
--> Can be computed directly from the sample data. We often use a statistic to
estimate an unknown parameter.
notation for parameters and statistics µ = population mean
x̄ = sample mean
p = population proportion
p̂ = sample proportion
sampling distribution The distribution of values taken by the statistic in all possible samples of the same
size from the same population.
It describes how a statistic varies in many samples from the population.
population distribution A distribution that gives the values of the variable for all individuals in the
population.
