4. What does the parameter represent and what notation would be use for this value(s)?

5. What does the statistic represent and what notation would we use for this value(s)?

6. When we compute the standard deviation we will label it "s". Under what circumstances would we use the funny tear drop symbol "sigma" to represent the standard deviation.
