Solution Steps

To determine which term describes a single measurement, value, or observation, we need to understand the definitions of each term. The term "datum" is the singular form of "data" and refers to a single measurement, value, or observation.

Step 1: Define the Terms

We start by defining the terms given in the question:

  • Population: The entire group of individuals or instances about whom we hope to learn.
  • Proportion: A part, share, or number considered in comparative relation to a whole.
  • Sample: A subset of the population that is used to represent the entire group.
  • Datum: A single measurement, value, or observation.
Step 2: Identify the Term for a Single Measurement

From the definitions, we identify that the term "datum" refers to a single measurement, value, or observation.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{datum}}\)
