Suppose a population consists of 50,000 people. Which of the following

numbers of members of the population being surveyed could result in a

sample statistic but not a parameter?

O A. Neither 500 nor 50,000

B. 500

O C. 50,000

O D. Both 500 and 50,000

The number that would represent a sample statistic of a population but not a parameter is:

O A. Neither 500 nor 50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason behind this is that a parameter has to follow a certain guideline because it needs to fulfill a rule to be considered one. There has to be a correlation, so if we have no clear establishment the number can't be a parameter. Thus, 500 would be the minimum 1% to be considered as a parameter and 50,000 the whole universe of the population. They keep a correlation, therefore any number but they would be a sample statistic.
