Parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

The resulting quantity is parameter because it consists of all data values i. e. 60 states. The concept of parameter states that the population is explained by a numerical representation. Here the population consists of all 60 states of the country and average is calculated by adding the area of all 60 states and then the sum is divided by 60. The resulting value is 202,824 that is represented by μ. So, 202,824 is the population mean represented by μ. Hence the resulting value is parameter.
