(b) Which of the following cannot be determined graphically out of mean, mode and median?



(q) median



(c) An ogive is used to determine …….



(r) mean



(d) Out of mean, mode, median and standard deviation, which is not a measure of central tendency?



(s) mode



The correct answer is:

The correct answer is:


Column I



Column II



Explanation



(a) The most frequent value in a data is known as …….



(s) mode



The most frequent value in the data is known as mode, as mode is the value that occurs most often (as per its definition).



(b) Which of the following cannot be determined graphically out of mean, mode and median?



(r) mean



Mean cannot be determined graphically, as mean is the average value from the set of given observations. Also, it doesn’t find the average of qualitative data, so it cannot be found by graph.



(c) An ogive is used to determine …….



(q) median



An ogive is used to determine median, as median is just the middle most value in the given set of observation which can be obtained by ‘less than type’ or ‘more than type’ ogives.



(d) Out of mean, mode, median and standard deviation, which is not a measure of central tendency?



(p) standard deviation



Standard deviation is not a measure of central tendency, as standard deviation is the deviation from the mean value for a group of observation. It doesn’t represent central tendency.
