Suppose we conducted a survey, and found that of 600 people sampled, 384 preferred Candidate A. We are interested in the percentage of voters in the population who prefer Candidate A. Did our survey result in information about a sample mean I or a sample proportion p ? This is the sample statistic. O sample mean I O sample proportion p Is this a situation where we are interested in approximating a population mean u or a population proportion p ? This is the population parameter.
