Answer 1

Answer:

An individual in this study is: Each household established in the Connecticut area (1. Households in Connecticut)

The parameter of interest in this study is: The proportions of households that use fuel oil as a source of heating in Connecticut. (5. percentage of those who use fuel oil as heating source calculated from the population of Connecticut households).

The statistic of interest in this study is: The proportions of households that use fuel oil as a heating source among the 1000 households that participated (6. percentage of those who use fuel oil as heating source calculated from the sample of 1000 Connecticut households).
