Chapter 7.1, Problem 4E

To determine

To Explain: the parameter, statistics etc.

Explanation of Solution

The population is having all individual about which want to collect information.

A sample is the part of the population of the information was actually collected.

It is observed that the sample is the 4 arbitrary chosen point of the turkey meat, where the population then requires being all points of the turkey meat

A parameter is a descriptive measure for a population, where a statistic is a descriptive measure for a sample.

  ${170}^{\circ }F$ is on the basis of the sample of 4 arbitrary selected points and therefore ${170}^{\circ }F$ is representing the sample minimum temperature, which means that ${170}^{\circ }F$ represents a statistic.

The associating parameter is then the population minimum temperature

Statistic= sample minimum temperature = ${170}^{\circ }F$

Parameter=population minimum temperature
