Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Percentiles
1. Location statistics answer the question of where a value stands in the order.
2. The measures of location of data are recognised, described and calculated as their own family.
3. Those measures are quartiles and percentiles.
4. Variance and range measure spread, and the mean measures centre.
5. Quartiles are simply the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles.
