Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of textbooks

Step-by-step explanation:

The population parameter refers to any numerical messure derived from using the entire population data. Since the study above looks to evaluate how college students view the cost of books. Since the population of interest is all students, the reason for which the entire population of students are employed and the variable that is to be measured using these population of student is called the population parameter. In the other hand, numeric estimates or observations derived from a portion of the population called the sample is refereed statistic.
