Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A parameter is used to describe the entire population being studied. For example, we want to know the average length of a butterfly. This is a parameter because it is states something about the entire population of butterflies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The difference between a parameter vs a statistic is that a parameter is a fixed measure describing the whole population, while a statistic is a characteristic of a sample, a portion of the target population.
