Answer:

Explanation:

D. never

A parameter is a fixed value that represents a characteristic of a set population, such as the population mean or population proportion. It is a fixed value that is true for the entire population, it is calculated using all the data of the population. For example, the mean of the height of all adults in a country is a parameter. Since it is based on all the data, it is not an estimation, it is the true value of the population. Therefore, a parameter does not change, it is a fixed value for a set population.
