Use the following information to answer the next four questions. A manager of a fast-food chain wants to analyze the length of time a vehicle spends at the drive-through window waiting for an order. According to records obtained from the chain, the population mean time spent waiting at the window was 236.5 seconds with a population standard deviation of 34.8 seconds. It is known that the distribution of time waiting at the window is extremely right-skewed. The waiting time was recorded for a random sample of 21 vehicles. For the random sample obtained, the sample mean waiting time was found to be 254.6 seconds with a sample standard deviation of 23.1 seconds. In this example, for the numerical values 236.5 and 254.6 O a. 236.5 is a parameter, 254.6 is a statistic O b. Both are parameters OC. Both are statistics O d. 236.5 is a statistic, 254.6 is a parameter

Question
Use the following information to answer the next four questions.
A manager of a fast-food chain wants to analyze the length of time a vehicle spends at the drive-through window waiting for an order. According to records obtained from the chain, the population mean time
spent waiting at the window was 236.5 seconds with a population standard deviation of 34.8 seconds. It is known that the distribution of time waiting at the window is extremely right-skewed.
The waiting time was recorded for a random sample of 21 vehicles. For the random sample obtained, the sample mean waiting time was found to be 254.6 seconds with a sample standard deviation of 23.1
seconds.
In this example, for the numerical values 236.5 and 254.6
O a. 236.5 is a parameter, 254.6 is a statistic
O b. Both are parameters
O C. Both are statistics
O d. 236.5 is a statistic, 254.6 is a parameter
