    a number produced from a subset of the group of interest.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This problems is, basically, about the difference of concepts between a statistic and a parameter.

    When something is taken from a sample and estimated to the entire population, it is a statistic. For example, if you survey 200 Central New York residents, an 60% of them say they are Buffalo Bills fans, the 60% is a statistic.

    When something is true to the entire population, it is a parameter. If i study the voting preference of all 53 players on the Buffalo Bills active roster, and 83% are Democrats, the 83% is an parameter.

    So the correct answer is:

    a number produced from a subset of the group of interest.

    This subset is the sample, for example, and the group of interest is the population.
