statistic => statistic describe a sample. It is given, within sample of 1251 voters surveyed 86% said they planned to vote in the 2016 presidential election

Thus, statistic = 86%

parameter => parameter describes population. It is given, 53.6% of all registered voters in 2012 voted in the US presidential elections in 2012.

Thus, parameter = 53.6%

Thus, we get

1. 1,251 - b. sample size

2. 53.6% - c. parameter
