Aparticular country has 60 total states. if the areas of all 60 states are added and the sum is divided by 60, the result is 212 comma 469 square kilometers. determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter. choose the correct answer below. a. the result is a parameter because it describes some characteristic of a sample. b. the result is a statistic because it describes some characteristic of a population. c. the result is a statistic because it describes some characteristic of a sample. d. the result is a parameter because it describes some characteristic of a population.

A particular country has 60 total states. if the areas of all 60 states are added and the sum is divided by 60, the result is 212 comma 469 square kilometers. determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.

Before solving the given question, let us understand what the parameter and statistic is:

Parameter: Parameter is a number that summarizes data for an entire population. Like Population mean Population standard deviation

Statistic: Statistic is a number that summarizes data for a sample. Like sample mean sample standard deviation .

From the given information, we can clearly see that given characteristic describes the population.

Therefore, the option d is correct

d. the result is a parameter because it describes some characteristic of a population. is correct.

1 is c

2 is a

3 is a

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
