Answer 1

B. The given value is a statistic for the week because the data collected represent a sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistic is a measure calculated based on a sample and a parameter is a measure calculated based on the population.

Since the homeowner measured the voltage supplied only on a specific week and not all the days, the data collected represent a sample.

Then, the given value is a statistic.

So, the answer is:

B. The given value is a statistic for the week because the data collected represent a sample.
