Statistics: Populations


Statisticians define a population as the entire collection of items that is the focus of concern. The branch of Statistics called Descriptive Statistics, provides us with ways to describe the characteristics of a given population by measuring each of its items and then summarizing the set of measures in various ways.

A population can be of any size and while the items need not be uniform, the items must share at least one measurable feature.
