Population parameters or population characteristics can be estimated by taking representative samples of a population. In other words, conclusions about an entire population can be inferred from a sampling of that population. This sampling of the population can then be examined and inferences made about the general population it represents.

Examples of these types of measures are Measures of Central Tendency and Measures of Dispersion.

Investments are based on the belief that the rate of return justifies or compensates the investor for the risk associated with that particular investment.

Therefore, some statistical measures of the risk involved with an investment are necessary before the investment is made.

- What is the Expected Rate of Return on an investment and what does it tell us about the probability of the risk involved with a particular investment?
