Answer:

Is a parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistic is a value obtained from calculating the data from a sample, while a parameter is obtained from calculating the data of a population, in this case the average area of ​​the states of a country was obtained, and for its calculation was used the data of all the states, that is, it was calculated with the population data and therefore the result obtained is a parameter.
