If we want to measure a parameter of a population e.g. heights of the men in a city having 1,70,000 men:
One way can be that we measure the heights of ALL the 1, 70,000 men and calculate the mean.
This way we are sure we know the true mean of the population’s height (Population mean).
This may be a mammoth exercise and one may be hesitant in doing this.
So, mostly one chooses a sample from the study population, measures the heights of the participants and calculates the mean height of the sample.
