Answer 1

im fairly certain that its true because you don't know the exact number of people surveyed. If they had said "out of the 100 people we surveyed 10% had problems" that would be a Parameter because parameters are percents out of the whole. if that makes sense. 

Answer 2

Yes this is true.

Explanation:

In a survey of a sample of computer users, 10% said their computer had a malfunction that needed to be repaired by a service technician.

The number 10% is a statistic because it is based on a sample of say x computer users, not the entire population of computer users.

And sample x can be any number like 500 or 600 etc. The entire population is in millions. And, sample is a part of population.

So, the answer is true.
