Data b. Variable c. Parameter d. Statistic e Sample f. Population 0 0

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Matching each vocabulary word with its corresponding example:

(1). All Americans = f. Population (a group of items, units or subjects under reference of study e.g. inhabitants of a region, numbers of cars in a city, workers in a factory and so on)  

(2). The proportion of all Americans who strongly agree that prisoners with life sentences who have Alzheimer's should be released = c. Parameter ( the number that summarizes some characteristic of a population)  

(3). The proportion of the 85 Americans surveyed who strongly agree that prisoners with life sentences who have Alzheimer's should be released = d. Statistic (the sample characteristic corresponding to a population parameter used when a sample is used to make statistical inference about a population)

(4). The answer-Strongly Agree' or 'Agree, or Disagree, or Strongly Disagree = b. Variable (any quality, characteristic, quantity or number that can be counted or measured)

(5). The 85 Americans who participated in the survey = e. Sample (a part or fraction of a population selected on some basis)

(6). The list of answers that the 85 Americans gave = a. Data (the pieces of information collected to be used for the analysis)
