Determine whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter. a homeowner measured the voltage supplied to his home on a random sample of 34 dayson a random sample of 34 days, and the average (mean) value is 136.4136.4 volts. choose the correct answer below.
a. the given value is a statisticstatistic for the yearyear because the data collected represent a populationpopulation.
b. the given value is a parameterparameter for the yearyear because the data collected represent a samplesample.
c. the given value is a statisticstatistic for the yearyear because the data collected represent a samplesample.
d. the given value is a parameterparameter for the yearyear because the data collected represent a populationpopulation.

C. The given value is a statistic for the yearyear because the data collected represent a samplesample.

Explanation:

A parameter is a numerical measurement of a population while a statistic is a numerical measurement of a sample. Statistics use assumptions to represent relations among variables and parameters should meet requirements and present more objective data. In this case, the voltage value found is the mean of a 34 days sample and, therefore, the given value is a statistic of the daily voltage for the year.

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
