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

A parameter is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample.

In a statistical study what is the difference between an individual and a variable? An individual is a member of the population of interest. A variable is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured. An individual is a member of the population of interest. A variable is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample. An individual is the population of interest. A variable is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. An individual is the population of interest. A variable is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured. An individual is a member of the population of interest. A variable is a numerical measurement describing data from a population

An individual is a member of the population of interest. A variable is an aspect of an individual subject or object being measured.

If there are three different samples of the same size from a set population, is it possible to get three different values for the same statistic? Data from samples never vary from sample to sample, and so corresponding sample statistics may vary from sample to sample. Data from samples never vary from sample to sample, and so corresponding sample statistics never vary from sample to sample. Data from samples may vary from sample to sample, and so corresponding sample statistics may vary from sample to sample. Data from samples may vary from sample to sample, and so corresponding sample statistics never vary from sample to sample.

Data from samples may vary from sample to sample, and so corresponding sample statistics never vary from sample to sample.

The archaeological site of Tara is more than 4000 years old. Tradition states that Tara was the seat of the high kings of Ireland. Because of it's archaeological importance, Tara has received extensive study (Reference: Tara: An Archaeological Survey by Conor Newman, Royal Irish Academy, Dublin). Suppose an archaeologist wants to estimate the density of ferromagnetic artifacts in the Tara region. For this purpose, a random sample of 55 plots, each of size 100 square meters, is used. The number of ferromagnetic artifacts for each plot is determined. Identify the variable. Is the variable quantitative or qualitative? What is the implied population?

number of ferromagnetic artifacts per 100 square meters quantitative the entire Tara region
