Question

A veterinarian is interested in determining the average weight loss in dogs when placed on a new low-calorie diet. She takes a random sample of 10 dogs out of the 50 dogs in her clinic that are on this special diet, and determines that their average weight loss is about 1.7 kg. Unbeknownst to her, the average weight loss for all the dogs on this diet is actually 2.1 kg Match each of the numbered items in the list with the numbers in the drop-down menus y Sample Population - Statistic | -- Parameter 1. 10 dogs 2. 1.7 kg 3. 50 dogs 4. 2.1 kg

Explanation / Answer

She is taking sample of 10 dogs out of the 50 dogs in her clinic.

So here 10 dogs = sample

50 dogs = Population

The value representing sample is Statistics and the value representing population is Parameter.

Here we have given sample mean (average weight loss for sample) = 1.7 and Population mean ( average weight loss for population) = 2.1

So 1.7 kg = Statistic

2.1 kg = Parameter

Hope this will help you. Thank you :)
