| Pooh | #1 can be tricky, it can be a statistic if one considers all possible outcomes of the new training program -- in favor, not in favor or neither. |
| bobbi | parameter relates to population while statistic refer to sample. |
| Carter | Always ask yourself: What are we measuring? For #1: we aren't measuring the outcome of the new training program. We are measuring the opinions of the Board members. There is only a limited number of responses that can be gathered rather quickly. |

| StanleyMo | i think clue word is survey :) |
| mordja | The issue with one is that it measures all board members responses, thus it is a parameter as it measures all responses from a population |
| AnkitDAnalyst | i agree with accounting |
| endlessfin1te | parameter relates to population while statistic refer to sample, SIMPLE |
