a) 72% is a sample; 56% is a population. b) 72% and 56% are both statistics. c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter. d) 72% is a parameter and 56% is a statistic. e) 72% and 56% are both parameters.

c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A statistic or sample statistic "is any quantity computed from values in a sample", for example the sample mean, sample proportion and standard deviation

A parameter is "any numerical quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it".

Solution to the problem

For this case we know that they select a sample of 663 registered voters and the sample proportion from these registered voters is:

representing the sample proportion of people who voted in the election

They info that they have is that the true proportion before is and that represent a value related to the population.

So on this case the 0.72 represent a statistic since represent the sample and the 0.52 is a value who represent the population for this case is a parameter.

So the correct option is:

c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.

the y will be in still but your answer will be y x 3
