Complete question :
A statistics professor wants to know the average GPA of the students enrolled in their class. They look up information on Canvas about the students enrolled in the class and compute the average GPA as 3.29
a. State whether the following statement is true or false. The population is all students enrolled in the accounting class.
b. Does the value 3.29 represent the population parameter or the sample statistic?
Answer:
True ; population parameter
Step-by-step explanation: The population comprises of all sets or participants relating to a study or experiment. For example, a population of male adults in the United States refers to the entire pool of adult population in the country. Hence, in the scenario above, the population refers to the entire student in the accounting class since the accounting class represents the entire pool of students.
B.) population parameter
Statistical estimates derived from a population is called the a parameter, since 3.29 represent the average score of the entire class.
Same statistic represents estimates derived from a sample (subset of the entire population).
