Answer:
c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A statistic or sample statistic "is any quantity computed from values in a sample", for example the sample mean, sample proportion and standard deviation
A parameter is "any numerical quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it".
Solution to the problem
For this case we know that they select a sample of 663 registered voters and the sample proportion from these registered voters is:
representing the sample proportion of people who voted in the election
They info that they have is that the true proportion before is
and that represent a value related to the population.
So on this case the 0.72 represent a statistic since represent the sample and the 0.52 is a value who represent the population for this case is a parameter.
So the correct option is:
c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.
It isn't A because there isn't a decimal in the hundredths.
It isn't B because it doesn't have a decimal coefficient on the left side: that means it could be C or D, to find out we should find what x is in C:
0.5x-5=0.15x+2
0.5x=0.15x+7
0.35x=7
Divide both sides by 7
0.05x=1
Now multiply both sides by 20:
x=20
That means it must be D, let's make sure:
0.6x-3=0.28x+5
0.6=0.28x+8
0.32x=8
Divide both sides by 8:
0.04x=1
Now multiply both sides by 25:
x=25
So the answer is D
Hope this helps :)
Do you mean ones and tenths?
675/1000. Simplified it would be 27/40.
