Question

Match List I with List II:

LIST I(Measures)		LIST II(Explanation)
A	Mean	I	The value repeated maximum number of times in a given series
B	Median	II	The extent of individual differences around the central tendency
C	Mode	III	Average
D	Variability	IV	The point above and below which lies 50% of the scores

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) → (I), (B) → (II), (C) → (III), (D) → (IV)
• (A) → (I), (B) → (III), (C) → (II), (D) → (IV)
• (A) → (I), (B) → (II), (C) → (IV), (D) → (III)
• (A) → (III), (B) → (IV), (C) → (I), (D) → (II)

Hint:

Central tendency measures (mean, median, mode) summarize the distribution’s center, while variability measures (range, standard deviation) describe its spread.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Matching the statistical terms with their descriptions:

• Mean (A → III): The arithmetic average of a dataset.
• Median (B → IV): The middle value in a sorted dataset, dividing it into two equal halves.
• Mode (C → I): The most frequently occurring value in the dataset.
• Variability (D → II): Describes how spread out or clustered the data points are around the mean.
