Question

Match the following:

Group A	Group B
i) Mode	1) Group component
ii) Median	2) Difference between the largest and smallest values
iii) Mean	3) Highest frequency
iv) Central tendency	4) Precise
v) Range	5) Middlemost term

Answer 1

Group A	Group B
i) Mode	Highest frequency
ii) Median	Middlemost term
iii) Mean	Precise
iv) Central tendency	Group component
v) Range	Difference between the largest and smallest

i. The mode is the observation occurring maximum number of times or most frequently in a series.
ii. The median divides the data into two equal parts. Thus, it is the middlemost item of a series.
iii. The mean is the simplest way of representing the entire data. It is calculated by dividing the sum of the given items by the total number of items. Thus, it is precise in nature.
iv. A central tendency is a single average value that lies within the series or data and, at the same time, represents the entire data. It is said to be a group component.
v. The range implies the span of data. In other words, it defines the difference between the largest and smallest values of the given data.
