Solution

The parameter is the average height of all women aged 20 years and above. The statistic is the average height of the 45 women in the sample.

In statistics, a parameter is a value that describes a characteristic of an entire population, such as the average height of all women aged 20 years and above. On the other hand, a statistic is a value that describes a characteristic of a sample from the population, such as the average height of the 45 women in the sample.
