A study of fishermen included 812 anglers who were chosen at random. Of these anglers, 59% said they use live bait. Bait shop ow
ners show that only 41% of anglers use live bait. 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.
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.
