producer takes an SRS of 200 eggs from all the eggs shipped in one day. The laboratory reports that 11

of these eggs had salmonella contamination. Unknown to the producer, 0.2% (two-tenths of one percent)

of all eggs shipped had salmonella. In this situation

a. 0.2% is a parameter and 11 is a statistic
b. 11 is a parameter and 0.2% is a statistic.
c. both 0.2 % and 11 are parameters
d. both 0.2% and 11 are statistics
