Answer: Statistic.

Step-by-step explanation: Statistic are used to refer to numerical measurement pertaining to a sample. A sample refers to a subset of members chosen from a population, which means a smaller representation of the larger group. Hence, in the scenario above, the population is the entire seniors which makes up the group. While the sample is the subset of seniors drawn from the whole. Hence, statistical measures calculated or derived from the sample is called statistic. Hence, the 25% obtained is a statistic.
