Scenario: Chris, who works at the ball park, recorded the number of balls that were hit out every night at the ball park by the different leagues. He collected the data over the entire month of June, and found that the Friday league hits out more balls ( an average of 4.8 balls per night) than any other leagues. ( he decided to recommend his manager charging more for the Friday league after he made this finding).

Explanation / Answer

Quantitative/Numerical : Quantitative variable can take only numerical values.

In this scenario quantitative variable is number of balls  that were hit out every night at the ball park by the different leagues.

Sample : A sample is a smaller, manageable version of a larger group.

In this scenario, the sample is data over the entire month of June.

Statistic : A statistic is a characteristic of a sample.

Statistic is sample mean, sample variance etc..

In this case statistic is average or sample mean which is calculated from data.

Discrete : Variables that can only take on a finite number of values are called "discrete variables.

Here discrete variable is number of balls that were hit out every night at the ball park by the different leagues.

number of balls can take values 0,1,2,3,............

Population : It is the total set of observations that can be made.

Parameter : A parameter is a measurable characteristic of a population, such as a mean or a standard deviation .
