in 1995,the gallup poll asked a sample of 620 adults whether their support of baseball had been affected by a recent player strike,248 people in the sample said "yes".identify the population,parameter,sample,and statistic in this setting

To identify the population, parameter, sample, and statistic in this setting, let's define each term:

1. Population: The population refers to the entire group of individuals that we are interested in studying. In this case, the population would be all adults, not just the sampled 620 adults.

2. Parameter: A parameter is a numerical characteristic of a population. Since we are considering the entire population, the parameter would be the proportion of all adults who would answer "yes" when asked if their support of baseball had been affected by the recent player strike.

3. Sample: A sample is a subset of the population that is selected for analysis. In this case, the sample size is stated to be 620 adults.

4. Statistic: A statistic is a numerical measure that describes a characteristic of a sample. The statistic in this case would be the proportion of the sample (248 out of 620) who answered "yes" when asked if their support of baseball had been affected by the recent player strike.

To summarize:

- Population: All adults (not just the 620 sampled)
- Parameter: The proportion of all adults who would answer "yes"
- Sample: 620 adults chosen for analysis
- Statistic: The proportion of the sample (248 out of 620) who answered "yes"
