Question

determine whether the underlined value is a parameter or a statistic. in a national survey of high school students (grades 9 to 12), 25% of respondents reported that someone had offered, sold, or given them an illegal drug on school property. is the value a parameter or a statistic? ○ parameter ○ statistic

Explanation:

A parameter describes a population, while a statistic describes a sample. Here, the 25% comes from a survey (sample) of high school students, not the entire population of all high school students. So it's a statistic.

Answer:

B. Statistic
