Answered by GPT-4o mini
The number described, 54% of employees at a certain company being male, is a **parameter**. A parameter is a numerical value that represents a characteristic of a whole population. In this case, the 54% pertains to all employees at that specific company. If it were based on a sample of employees rather than the entire population, it would be considered a statistic.
