Example: Decide whether the numerical value describes a population parameter or a sample statistic. a.) A recent survey of a sample of 450 college students reported that the average weekly income for students is $325. Because the average of $325 is based on a sample, this is a sample statistic. b.) The average weekly income for all students $405. Because the average of $405 is based on a population, this is a population parameter.

Read the scenario below. Identify the population and sample. Then determine if the bolded value is a parameter or a statistic. Use the appropriate symbol in your answer. A 1993 survey conducted by the Richmond Times-Dispatch one week before Election Day asked voters which candidate for the state's attorney general they would vote for. 37% of the respondents said they would vote for the Democratic candidate. On Election Day, 41% actually voted for the Democratic candidate. The population is The sample is This is a scenario involving The symbol goes with 37% because 37% is a The symbol v goes with 41% because 41% is a
