Question

Match the following
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{(i) Mean}& \text{A. Typical value}\\ \text{(ii) Median}& \text{B. Most popular value}\\ \text{(iii) Mode}& \text{C. Gets highly affected by extreme values}\end{array}$

• A. (i)-A, (ii)-B, (iii)-C
• B. (i)-B, (ii)-A, (iii)-C
• C. (i)-C, (ii)-A, (iii)-B
• D. (i)-B, (ii)-C, (iii)-A

Answer 1

The correct option is C

(i)-C, (ii)-A, (iii)-B

Mean changes abruptly if any extreme values are added to the data as it is the overall average of the data,
Median is a typical value which lies at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of a given data,
such that there is an equal probability of falling above or below the value,
The mode is the most popular value or the value appearing most of the times in a given set of data.
