I am assuming the underlined value is 25%. It is a parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

The value is is a parameter. This is because the parameter is a value that describes the population.

The survey carried out was a national survey of which there were 25% respondents who reported that someone had offered, sold, or given them an illegal drug on school property. It is not a statistics because a sample was not taken out of the population and a survey made on the sample.

The underlined 25% value is the value that summarizes the entire population of high school students
