Explanation:

Step1: Define statistics concept

Statistics is data about a sample. The percentage of all townspeople is a parameter (population - related), not a statistic. A random selection of 100 townspeople is a sample, but it's not a statistic itself. The percentage of townspeople surveyed (a sample) who believe the mayor is doing a good job is a statistic as it is a numerical summary of a sample.

Answer:

The percentage of townspeople surveyed who believe the mayor is doing a good job.
