Determine whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter. A study was conducted of all 775 college students in a certain country. The value is a parameter because it is a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a sample. The value is a parameter because it is a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a population. The value is a statistic because it is a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a population. The value is a statistic because it is a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a sample.
