Question

In reference to sampling, match List I with List II

	LIST I		LIST II
A.	Measure of a characteristic of a sample	I.	Parameter
B.	An assumption made about a population	II.	Standard Error
C.	Standard deviation of the sample	III.	Statistic
D.	Measure of characteristic of a population	IV.	Null Hypothesis

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• C. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the matching problem related to sampling, we need to correctly pair each item from List I with the appropriate item from List II.

	LIST I		LIST II
A.	Measure of a characteristic of a sample	I.	Parameter
B.	An assumption made about a population	II.	Standard Error
C.	Standard deviation of the sample	III.	Statistic
D.	Measure of characteristic of a population	IV.	Null Hypothesis

Let's examine each term:

1. Measure of a characteristic of a sample: This is known as a Statistic, as it refers to a value computed from a sample.
2. An assumption made about a population: This corresponds to a Null Hypothesis, which is a hypothesis that there is no effect or no difference.
3. Standard deviation of the sample: This relates to the Standard Error, which represents the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic.
4. Measure of characteristic of a population: This is known as a Parameter, providing a numeric description of a population characteristic.

Based on the analysis, the correct matches are: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
