AP STAT: Model Parameters

I thought it was important as your are going through Chapter 6 and moving forward to keep clear the differences between distributions and statistical models.

The difference between a distribution and a model:

Distribution              Model
real data                     theoretical values
observed                    imagined
histogram                   mathematical curve
statistics                     parameters
center y                      center μ
spread s                     spread σ
