Report Abuse. POPULATION PARAMETER(p) is a value used to represent a certain QUANTIFIABLE characteristic of a population. This is like the mean or variance of a population and often these values are unknown, and are estimated using sample data.
When we obtain the results from the Population, it is called a Parameter and when we obtain results from a Sample, it is called Statistic. Coming back to the difference, STATISTIC is the score of each individual or a singular data. STATISTICS is therefore, the process of designing, comparing, interpreting and analysing data. Statistics is concerned with the sample and not the population as population is almost impossible to reach.
