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.
Best Answer: A parameter is a number computed from a population. Contrast this with the definition of a statistic. A parameter is a constant, unchanging value. There is no random variation in a parameter. If the size of the population is large (as is typically the case), then you may find that a parameter is difficult or even impossible to compute.
