Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

In order for a constitutional amendment to the Florida constitution to pass 60% of the popular vote must support the amendment. A researcher is interested in determining if the more than sixty percent of the voters would support a new amendment about higher education. The researcher asks 500 random selected potential voters if they would support the amendment. Define the parameter.

A) phat= sample proportion of 500 Floridans that would support the ammendment

B) p= population proportion of Floridans that would support the ammendment

C) phat= population proportion of Floridans that would support the ammendment

D) p= sample proportion of 500 Floridans that would support the ammendment

p is the actual probability of an event which is 0.6

phat is the value calculated from the sample observation

here a sample of 500 Floridans is taken and probability from sample is being observed.  So phat is the parameter which is the population proportion of 500 Floridans that would support the ammendment
