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.
Now it is time to analyze this information using the concepts of parameters and statistics. A parameter is the characteristics used to describe a population. For example, Lenae knows one parameter of her population is that they all live in the same town. This is a 100% known parameter of the population. If Lenae was able to see a 100% accurate census in the town, she could probably find parameters such as the number of people in a certain age range in the population. It's hard to have 100% proof for particular characteristics of a population.
