To find: the following statement is true.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem T7.1SPT
72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.
Explanation of Solution
A parameter is a descriptive measure for a population, where a statistic is a descriptive measure for a sample.
72% is a statistic; the reason is that the proportion is based on the study of 663 randomly selected voters.
56% is a parameter. The reason is that the proportion is based on ALL registered voters.
Hence, the correct option is (c)

- In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions.
