Answer: F. Statistic , because the data set of salaries of 50 employees is a sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter gives measure of a characteristic for the entire population where as a statistic gives measure of a characteristic for the subset of population (sample).

Given : The average annual salary of 50 of a company's 800 employees is $54,000.

It means the sample size = 50 and the sample mean salary = $54,000.

i. e $54,000 is giving the measure for mean salary for the sampled 50 employees.

It means $54,000 is a statistic.

Hence, the correct answer is option (F).
