Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
A study of parents of kindergarteners included 349 parents who were
chosen at random. Of these parents, 47% said they sent their children to pre-kindergarten. School records show that only 31% of parents of kindergarteners sent their children to pre-kindergarten. Identify the statistic and the parameter.
Three hundred forty-nine is the parameter and 47% is the statistic.
Three hundred forty-nine is the statistic and 47% is the parameter.
Three hundred forty-nine is the parameter and 31% is the statistic.
Forty-seven percent is the parameter and 31% is the statistic.
Forty-seven percent is the statistic and 31% is the parameter.
A parameter is a value which tells one about something about a population. A parameter is the opposite of a statistic. A statistic tells you something about a small part of the population.
Sample size (n) = 349
From the given sample, we are told that 47% parents sent their students to pre-kindergarten and also that the school record shows that 31% parents sent their students to pre-kindergarten which is, p =0.31
So, 47% is the statistic and 31% is the parameter.
