Question

Taylor Swift wants to know the proportion of her fans who listened to her new single ME! within the first hour of it being released. In order to estimate this, she takes a sample of 150 of her fans and asks them if they listened to the song in this time period. Of the 150 fans, 135 of them (90%) responded that they did listen to the song during this time period. What is the parameter and what is its value

Answer 1

Answer:

The parameter is the population proportion of fans who  listened to her new single and has an estimated value of 90%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameter is a value that corresponds to a population, while an a value that corresponds to a sample is know as statistic.

She takes a sample to estimate, with a point estimate and probably with a confidence interval around this point estimate, the true proportion of fans who listened to her new single.

This is the paramater: the population proportion of fans who listened to her new single.

Its value comes from an estimation based on the sample proportion (point estimate).

The sample proportion is 90%, so we can estimate, as there is no bias, that the population proportion is also 90%.
