Aparticular country has 60 total states. if the areas of all 60 states are added and the sum is divided by 60, the result is 212 comma 469 square kilometers. determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter. choose the correct answer below. a. the result is a parameter because it describes some characteristic of a sample. b. the result is a statistic because it describes some characteristic of a population. c. the result is a statistic because it describes some characteristic of a sample. d. the result is a parameter because it describes some characteristic of a population.

A particular country has 60 total states. if the areas of all 60 states are added and the sum is divided by 60, the result is 212 comma 469 square kilometers. determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.

Before solving the given question, let us understand what the parameter and statistic is:

Parameter: Parameter is a number that summarizes data for an entire population. Like Population mean Population standard deviation

Statistic: Statistic is a number that summarizes data for a sample. Like sample mean sample standard deviation .

From the given information, we can clearly see that given characteristic describes the population.

Therefore, the option d is correct

d. the result is a parameter because it describes some characteristic of a population. is correct.

"if it is my birthday, then it is snowing"

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
