Explanation:

A statistic is a value that summarizes a set of data, not a single raw data point.

1. A single share price is a raw data point, not a statistic.
2. The median is a measure that summarizes house price data, so it is a statistic.
3. A single count of home runs for one event is raw data, not a statistic.
