A specific characteristic of a sample is known as a
Solution
The question asks what a numerical characteristic calculated from a sample is called.
A population is the entire group being studied. A sample is a smaller group taken from the population.
A parameter is a characteristic of the population (such as the average of all values in the population).
A statistic is a characteristic of the sample (such as the average of all values in the sample).
Population refers to the entire group itself, not a characteristic of a sample.
Parameter describes a characteristic of the population, not the sample.
Population distribution describes how values are spread in the population, not a characteristic of a sample.
A statistic is a characteristic calculated from a sample.
Any measure (mean, median, standard deviation, etc.) calculated from a sample is called a statistic.
Therefore, the answer is Statistic.
