| List-I | List-II | ||
| (A) | An observed set of population selected for analysis | (I) | Parameter |
| (B) | A specific characteristic of the population | (II) | Hypothesis |
| (C) | A specific characteristic of the sample | (III) | Statistic |

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
(A) An observed set of population selected for analysis
This matches (IV) Sample. A sample is the part of the population actually observed.
(B) A specific characteristic of the population
This matches (I) Parameter. A parameter describes the population, such as the population mean \(\mu\).
(C) A specific characteristic of the sample
This matches (III) Statistic. A statistic describes the sample, such as the sample mean \(\bar{x}\).
(D) A statement made about a population parameter for testing
This matches (II) Hypothesis. A hypothesis is a claim about a parameter, tested using sample data.
So the matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II).
