Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A statistic is a summary description of a characteristic or measure of the sample. Examples include mean, standard deviation, and proportion. Confidence intervals and levels are used to estimate the range of plausible values for a population parameter based on the sample statistic and the sampling distribution describes the pattern of sample statistics that would be obtained if repeatedly drawing samples from the same population. "Summary judgment" is not a statistical term.
