Answer:

True

Explanation:

The statistic is a numerical value which describes the characteristic of a particular sample data. The sample is a set of data which represents a smaller subset randomly selected from the population or a larger dataset.

The sample mean, refers to the mean or average value of a sample data, therefore, a sample mean is a numerical characteristic of the sample dataset and it is therefore a statistic. On the other hand, numerical characteristics of a population data is called the parameter.
