The Food and Drug Administration advises people against eating fish with mercury concentrations exceeding 1 part per million (ppm). Researchers wonder if the average mercury content of large-mouth bass in a certain state exceeds the limits and, thus, make such fish inedible. They randomly sample largemouth bass from randomly selected lakes in this state and record the amount of mercury in each fish. What is the correct parameter in this example

    The average amount of mercury in the population of large-mouth bass in this particular state

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Parameters are properties that describe entire populations rather than a sample. Therefore, since researchers are focused on the average mercury content of large-mouth bass, the correct parameter for the experiment would be the average amount of mercury in the population of large-mouth bass in this particular state.
