Identify each quantity as a parameter or a statistic

(a) $\mu$ (b)$s$ (c)$\overline{x}$ (d)$\sigma$

We are given quantity$\mu$

We need to identify whether quantity is parameter or statistic

A parameter is a number that describes the entire population characteristics .

A statistic is a number that describes characteristics of a sample.

Greek and capital letters typically refer to populations, but Latin and lower-case letters usually refer to samples.

From above definitions we can elaborate that

$\mu$is parameter quantity.

We are given quantity $s$
