Math Problem Statement

Identify the population parameters or sample statistics in the given scenario. 1000 students at a local college were asked whether they voted in the last election. 77% said yes.

Solution

In this question, you are asked to identify the sample statistics from a given scenario.

The correct answers are:

  • 77%: This represents the percentage of students from the sample who said they voted, making it a statistic derived from the sample.
  • 1000 students surveyed: This number represents the sample size, as it specifies the number of students from whom data was collected.

Would you like more details on sample statistics vs. population parameters?

Here are some related questions to explore further:

  1. What is the difference between a sample statistic and a population parameter?
  2. Why is a sample size important in statistical studies?
  3. How can we use sample statistics to estimate population parameters?
  4. What is the importance of random sampling in statistics?
  5. How can sample statistics lead to biases if not properly collected?

Tip: When identifying sample statistics, look for data specifically derived from the sample rather than the whole population.
