Question

Can you help me solve this please! ​

Answer 1

The underlined numerical value 8% is a parameter because the data set of all 843 animals in a zoo is a population.

Option B is correct.

What is the difference between a parameter and a statistic?

In quantitative research, numerical data are gathered and analyzed to identify patterns, identify relationships, or test hypotheses.

A statistic is a number that describes a sample i.e. sample mean, whereas a parameter is a number that describes the entire population (such as the population mean). Identifying the population parameters helps quantitative research understand population patterns.

From the given information:

The underlined numerical value is a parameter. This is because the data set of all 843 animals in a zoo is a population.

It implies that:

• The total population of all animals in the Zoo = 843
• The proportion = 8%

Thus, it is the ratio concerning the population. As such, 8% is population proportion(Parameter).
