Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
(A) The chance of observing a specific outcome in an experiment
This matches (IV) Probability distribution.
A probability distribution gives the probability (chance) of each possible outcome of an experiment.
(B) A method used to estimate the population parameters
This matches (II) Estimation.
Estimation uses sample data to give a value (or an interval) for an unknown population parameter.
(C) A value that describes an entire population
This matches (I) Parameter.
A parameter is a numerical measure of the whole population, such as the population mean \(\mu\).
(D) A measurable characteristic of a sample
This matches (III) Statistic.
A statistic is a numerical measure computed from a sample, such as the sample mean \(\bar{x}\).
So the matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III).
