Question

Iced tea On Tuesday, the bottles of Arizona Iced Tea filled in a plant were supposed to contain an average of $20$ounces of iced tea. Quality control inspectors selected $50$bottles at random from the day’s production. These bottles contained an average of $19.6$ ounces of iced tea. Identify the population, the parameter, the sample, and the statistic.

Short answer

The sample is of $50$bottles and population minimum temperature becomes associated parameter. The statistics is $19.6$ ounces and parameter is population mean weight of iced tea.

Step-by-step solution

Given information

We need to identify the population, the parameter, the sample, and the statistic.

Simplify

Individuals that seek to collect information are present in the population.
A sample is a portion of the population from whom data was gathered.
The sample is seen to be the $50$ bottles chosen at random from the day's production, whereas the population must be all bottles from the day's production.
A statistic is a descriptive measure for a sample, whereas a parameter is a descriptive measure for a population.
The average of $19.6$ounce is based on $50$bottles in the sample, and so $19.6$ounces indicate the sample mean weight of the iced tea, implying that $19.6$ is a statistic.
The population minimum temperature becomes the associated parameter.
Statistic :

$\overline{x}=$sample mean weight of the iced tea $=19.6$ ounces
Parameter : $\mu =$ population mean weight of the iced tea
