Aparticular country has 40 total states. if the areas of 35 states are added and the sum is divided by 35, the result is 187 comma 098 square kilometers. determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter?

The result is a statistic because it shows characteristic of a sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A particular country has 40 total states. The areas of 35 states are added and the sum is divided by 35 he result is 187,098 square kilometers.

A sample is a smaller group of representatives of a chosen community to represent the population.

Here 35 states shows a smaller group as there are 40 states. That means 35 states are the sample.

The difference between a statistic and a parameter is that statistics defined by a sample. A parameter is defined by an entire population.

Since, 35 states represents the sample that means this result is statistics.
