Asked by Shar

A particular country has 55 total states. If the areas of 30 states are added and the sum is divided by 30, the result is 196,582 square kilometers. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter and why.
Answered by PsyDAG
A parameter is data about the <I>whole</I> population, while a statistic deals with a <I>part</I> of the population, a sample. What does that tell you?
Answered by Shar
The result is a statistic because it describes some characteristics of a sample.
Or is it because if describes some characteristics of a population? this is where I get confused.
thanks
