Answer:  Parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is defined as :

  • A value that is evaluated by considering the entire population.
  • For example : Population mean , population standard deviation etc.

A statistic is defined as :

  • A value that is evaluated by considering a sample of the population.
  • For example : sample mean , sample standard deviation etc.

Given : Mark had competed in the​ 100-meters event a total of 328 times.

Here ,  Population of interest =  Number of times Mark competed in the​ 100-meters event =328

His average time for these 328 races was 15 seconds.

Since this average is calculated from the entire population, therefore , 15 is representing a parameter .

Hence, the correct answer is : "Parameter"
