Step-by-step explanation:

The population consists of all characteristics of interest and sample is portion or a subset of population. Here, 1502 adults 18 years or older are select ted from a population of all adults 18 years or older, so, 1502 adults are the sample. The measurement taken from sample is termed as statistic. The given value 69% is computed from a sample and thus it is a sample statistic.
