yesterdays share price for proctor and gamble stocks.

Explanation:

Statistics involve summarizing or describing a set of data (a sample or population), not just a single isolated value.

1. The median house price summarizes a dataset of Detroit house prices, so it is a statistic.
2. The typical music genre summarizes the set of music played on KCFR, so it is a statistic.
3. The number of home runs in one World Series is a single count of a single event, not a summary of a dataset, so it is not a statistic.
4. A single day's share price is an isolated value, not a summary of a dataset, so it is not a statistic.

Answer:

A. The median price of a house in Detroit.
B. The typical genre of music played on KCFR.
