Statistics a number a number that that describes a population is computed from the sample. 0. 46 n a 500 population adults aged 18 29 p o 14. 5 purpose of inference parameters are usually unknown. Cpopulation is too large so we calculate statistics from properly conducted samples to estimate the parameters. 6 due to sampling variability it implies that no two random samples are the same so since statistics are calculated from samples statistics also vary from sample to sample. 7 unusual more than two standard deviations above or below the mean. 8 sampling distribution of sample proportions population n225.
