Supplementary Exercises 3.77 and 3.79 of IPS7e ---------------------------------------------- 3.77 ---- Out of 663 registered voters, 72% said they had voted in the election. The number (72%) is a statistic, computed as the total number among those questioned saying they had voted divided by 663. Election records showed that only 56% of registered voters actually voted. The number (56%) is a parameter, for the entire population of registered voters. 3.79 ---- The mean pushes per minute for the two groups of subjects (283 for placebo and 311 for caffeine) are both statistics, computed from all the measurements taken on the experimental subjects in the two groups.
