Answer: A. The number is a sample statistic because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population is simply similar items or events that a researcher or an experimenter is interested and wants to carry out an experiment on.

A statistic is simply referred to as the piece of information gotten from the population while a sample statistic is the piece of statistical information which a researcher will be able to get from the statistic.

In this scenario, the number is a sample statistic because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.
