Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average age of 37 years is a sample statistic, which is a numerical value that describes a characteristic of a sample. A parameter, on the other hand, is a numerical value that describes a characteristic of a population. Since we do not know the average age of all employees in the company, we cannot determine a population parameter. Therefore, the correct choice is A) statistic.
