- Product
- Σ x_i / n (arithmetic mean)
- Σ x_i
- Max - Min
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. Σ x_i / n (arithmetic mean)
Arithmetic mean = Σxi/n.
Most common measure of central tendency. Sensitive to outliers.

Worked practice questions
Median of sorted data with odd count n:
- First value
- Mean
- Mode
- Middle value (((n+1)/2)-th term)
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Middle value (((n+1)/2)-th term)
**Median:** middle value of sorted data. Robust to outliers.
**For odd n:** just the ((n+1)/2)-th value.
**For even:** mean of two middle values.
Mode of data set is:
- Range
- Median
- Average
- Most frequent value
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Most frequent value
**Mode:** value occurring with highest frequency.
Distribution can have 0, 1, or multiple modes (unimodal, bimodal, etc.).
