Question

Match List I with List II

	LIST I		LIST II
A.	A special characteristic of a population is called	I.	Sample Size
B.	The number of statistical individuals in a sample is called	II.	Statistic
C.	A special characteristic of a sample is called	III.	Standard error
D.	The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic is known as its	IV.	Parameter

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
• B. (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
• C. (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
• D. (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The task requires matching elements from List I with List II by identifying their correct descriptions and definitions. Let's explain each term:

• Parameter: A special characteristic of a population is called a parameter. Parameters are numerical features that represent an entire population.
• Sample Size: The number of statistical individuals in a sample is called the sample size. It indicates the number of observations or elements taken from a larger population.
• Statistic: A special characteristic of a sample is called a statistic. Statistics are numerical features derived from samples.
• Standard Error: The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic is known as its standard error. It measures how much a statistic from a sample deviates from the actual parameter of the population.

Matching Elements:

A.	Parameter	IV.
B.	Sample Size	I.
C.	Statistic	II.
D.	Standard Error	III.

This results in the correct pairing as follows: (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III).
