Identify the statistic and the parameter. (4 points) O Eight hundred twelve is the parameter and 59% is the statistic. Eight hundred twelve is the statistic and 59% is the parameter Eight hundred twelve is the parameter and 41% is the statistic. Fifty-nine percent is the statistic and 41% is the parameter. Fifty-nine percent is the parameter and 41% is the statistic.

Answer 1

Answer:

Fifty-nine percent is the statistic and 41% is the parameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters are figures that describe data related to an entire population (all anglers who shop at bait shops), while statistics are figures that describe data related to  a sample (a sample of anglers chosen at random).

Therefore, 41% is a parameter and 812 and 59% are statistics.

The only viable answer choice is:

Fifty-nine percent is the statistic and 41% is the parameter.
