Population parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

74% of all instructors at your school teach 2 or more classes.

Parameter and statistic:

Parameter is the value that describes a population. Population is the collection of all the possible observations of an event. Statistic is the quantitative value that describes a sample. A sample is a part of a population and is always smaller than a population.

Population:

all instructors at your school

Parameter:

74% of all the instructors at your school teach 2 or more classes

Thus, 74% describes the population that takes two or more classes.

Hence, it is a population parameter.
