4. In a set of observations, the value of the middlemost item when they are arranged in order of magnitude is called
Average
Median
Mode
Harmonic mean

5. The difference between the largest and the smallest observations is called
Standard deviation
Variance
Mean deviation

10. A: An analysis of the co-variation of two or more variables is usually called correlation.
B: Correlation coefficient is the measure to find out the extent or degree of relationship between two variables.
Both A and B are true
Both A and B are false
A is true, B is false
A is false, B is true
