An oranger grower wishes to compute the average yield from her orchard. The orchard contains three varieties of​ trees: 50% of her trees are of variety​ A, 35​% of variety​ B, and ​15% of variety C. The orange grower takes a survey by sampling a certain number of trees of each variety.

​(a) Suppose that in her​ survey, she found that each tree of variety A averages 100 oranges, each tree of variety B averages 50 ​oranges, and each tree of variety C averages 90 oranges. Estimate the average yield per tree of her orchard. ​(b) Is the yield found in part​ (a) a parameter or a​ statistic?
