(a.) First let's define the terms;

Population - it is the pool of individual in which a statistical sample is drawn.

Parameter - it is a measure of quantity that summarizes or describes a Population.

Sample - is a smaller and more managable version of a group or population.

Statistics - same with parameter but rather than the population, it summarizes or describes

the sample.

Now that we know the definitions we can now answe the letter a;

Population: Students

Parameter: the population portion of the new students that like the new healthy choices (p)

Sample: 150 students

Statistics: estimated propotion of the students that like the new healthy choices (p-hat)

(b) P-hat = 0.6267 simply means that 62.67% of the 150 sample students like the new healthy choices.

(c) The answer for that is NO, because the simulated propotion which is shown by the graph seems to be equally distributed below and above 0.7. To support the claim of the manager most of the dots should be below 0.7 to show support to his claim that 70% of the new students like the new healthy choices.
