Identify whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter. A study was conducted of all 2223 passengers aboard the Titanic when it sank.
The motion picture Titanic described the tragedy of the collision of the ocean liner of the same name with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. The ship sank soon after the collision on April 14,1912, and now rests on the sea floor at a depth of $12,468 \mathrm{ft}$. Recently, the wreck was explored by the research vessel Nautile, which has successfully recovered a variety of items from the debris field surrounding the sunken ship. Calculate the pressure in atmospheres and pounds per square inch exerted on the hull of the Nautile as it explores the sea bed surrounding the Titanic. (Hint: The height of a column of liquid required to exert a given pressure is inversely proportional to the liquid's density. Seawater has a density of approximately $1.025 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}$; mercury has a density of $\left.13.6 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1} ; 1 \mathrm{~atm}=14.7 \mathrm{lb} \mathrm{in.}^{-2} .\right)$
