(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)
