Chapter 7.1, Problem 5E

To determine

To Explain: the parameter and statistics etc.

Explanation of Solution

The population is having all individual about which want to collect information.

A sample is the part of the population of the information was actually collected.

It is observed that the sample is the 50 bottles who were chosen at arbitrary from the day’s production, where the population then requires to be all bottles from the day’s production

A parameter is a descriptive measure for a population, where a statistic is a descriptive measure for a sample.

The average of 19.6 ounce is on the basis of 50 bottles in the sample and therefore 19.6 ounces are representing the sample mean weight of the iced tea, which means that 19.6 represent a statistic.

The associating parameter is then the population minimum temperature

Statistic: $\overline{x}=$ sample mean weight of the iced tea=19.6 ounces

Parameter: $\mu$ =population mean weight of the iced tea
