Aarav Rodgers · Answer 1

Parameters are data about populations, (P and P)

Statistics are data about samples, (S and S)

Most of the time you cannot take a survey of an entire population so you have to use a sample from the population. You use the information from the sample statistics to make inferences about the population.

I hope this cleared up your question.
