Understand that in statistics, researchers often want to study or describe a large group of individuals or items that share a common characteristic.
Recognize that this entire group is called the 'Population' because it includes all members of the group the researcher is interested in.
Differentiate the population from a 'Sample,' which is a smaller subset selected from the population for study.
Know that a 'Statistic' is a numerical value calculated from a sample, used to estimate parameters of the population.
Remember that a 'Variable' is any characteristic or attribute that can take on different values within the population or sample.
