(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

List I Statistical Measure

List II Definition

(A) Mode

(IV) Observation which has the highest frequency

(B) Median

(III) Central value when observations are arranged in order

(C) Mean

(I) Sum of all observations divided by their count

(D) Standard Deviation

(II) Measure of the spread from the mean

(A) Mode: In a data set, the mode is the value that appears most frequently. If you were looking at a frequency distribution table, it would be the entry with the highest count.

Match: (A) – (IV)

(B) Median: The median is the "middle" value. To find it, you must first arrange the data in ascending or descending order. It effectively splits the data into two equal halves.

Match: (B) – (III)

(C) Mean: Also known as the average, the arithmetic mean is calculated by adding up all the data points ($x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$) and dividing by the total number of points ($n$).

Match: (C) – (I)

(D) Standard Deviation: This is a measure of dispersion. It tells you how much the members of a group differ from the mean value for the group. A low standard deviation means the data points tend to be very close to the mean.

Match: (D) – (II)
