Jadyn Wolfe · Answer 1

4% is a parameter and 1% is a statistic

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a company is trying to determine if they should accept a shipment of toy parts.

The shipment has over 1 million parts. Hence as a whole the parts in the shipment is population. 1% or less defective pertain to the population hence this is a parameter.

But sample of 100 is taken and defective are 4%. This 4% is characteristic of a sample and hence this is a statistic

Option d is right

4% is a parameter and 1% is a statistic
