Answer 1

Answer: E. Statistic​, because the data set of a sample of 1050 teenagers is a sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics , a parameter is a number that gives a measure of data for a whole population.

On the other hand a statistic is a number that gives a measure of data from a sample ( a subset of population).

Given : In a survey of a sample of 1050 teenagers , 17%  said they like to watch soccer.

Since 1050 teenagers are representing the size of sample and 17% is the proportion of teenagers like to watch soccer.

Then, the underlined numerical value is a statistic.
