Question

Assertion (A): Mean and median are always one of the numbers of the observation.

Reason (R): Mean and median are measures representing the data which need not be one of the observations.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true but R is the incorrect reason for A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

The Assertion is false because the mean and median values may not appear in the data set. The reasoning is correct, as both are representative measurements of data that do not require real observations.
