The plural of statistic just above is another basic meaning of statistics. Assume there are 8 students in a particular statistics class, with 1 student being male. Since 1 is 12.5% of 8, we can say 13% are male. The 13% represents a parameter (not a statistic) of the class because it is based on the entire population. If we assume this class is representative of all classes, and we treat this 1 student as a sample drawn from a larger population, then the 13% becomes a statistic.
