Sagot :

Answer:

b. 23% is a parameter, 19% is a statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value is from a population, it is a parameter.

Otherwise, if the value is from a sample, it is a statistic.

23% of all cars manufactured in 2012 were white.

This is from the population(all cars), so 23% is a parameter.

In a random sample of 100 cars parked in long-term parking at Philadelphia International Airport, 19% of the cars were white.

100 is the size of the sample, which is neither a parameter, nor a statistic.

19% is from the sample of 100, so it is a statistic.

The correct answer is given by option b.
