Answer with explanation:

Given : Raymond wants to estimate the percentage of parents that use cloth diapers. He asks a randomly selected group of 200 parents whether or not they use cloth diapers.

  • The parameter are the number which are used to represents the quantity of a particular characteristic in entire population.

We know that to estimate the percentage of success we use the proportion of success parameter "p".

Hence, the parameter here is "p" , the proportion of parents that use cloth diapers.
