Final answer:

The value being discussed is a sample statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the value being discussed is the average mpg (miles per gallon) of new cars. Since the average is calculated from a random sample of new cars, the value is a sample statistic. A sample statistic is a number that represents a property of the sample, in this case, the average mpg of the cars in the sample.
