Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 10% figure represents the proportion, or incidence, of Hilton Honors club members who are loyal to the brand. Therefore, it is a population proportion of incidence. It is not a sample statistic, population parameter, population variance, or sampling frame because it represents a specific proportion within the Hilton Honors club membership population.
