    B. The value is a parameter because the career at-bats of a baseball player are a population.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The hitter had a career batting average of 0.366.

    This value comes from information about the population of every time he has ever gone up to bat. Therefore, it is a parameter.

    If on the other hand, we take the batting average of 5 games, the 5 games will be a sample and the batting average will be a statistic.
