Question

Determine whether the survey result is a parameter or a statistic.



Mr. Rembrandt gives a survey to each of the students in the art club. He concludes that
of the art club members would like to visit the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.



A
Parameter

B
Statistic

Answer 1

The survey result described in your scenario is a **statistic** because it is based on a sample (the art club members) rather than the entire population of all possible art club members. If Mr. Rembrandt had surveyed every single art club member, then it would have been a parameter. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**B Statistic**.
