Match List-I with List-II
| List-I | List-II | ||
| (A) | The measurable characteristic of a population is called | (I) | Sample |
| (B) | The measurable characteristic of a sample is called | (II) | Alternative hypothesis |
| (C) | A smaller group of a population selected to represent a population is called | (III) | Parameter |
| (D) | The assumption made opposite to the null hypothesis is called | (IV) | Statistic |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) The measurable characteristic of a population is called
This matches (III) Parameter. A parameter describes the whole population, such as the population mean \(\mu\).
(B) The measurable characteristic of a sample is called
This matches (IV) Statistic. A statistic is computed from the sample, such as the sample mean \(\bar{x}\).
(C) A smaller group of a population selected to represent a population is called
This matches (I) Sample.
(D) The assumption made opposite to the null hypothesis is called
This matches (II) Alternative hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis \(H_1\) is accepted when the null hypothesis \(H_0\) is rejected.
So the matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II).
