Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Hank has organized the data into a table and determined that five is the most common result indicates that he has created a frequency distribution, which is a summary of how often each value occurs in a set of data. Population parameter (A) refers to a numerical measure that describes a characteristic of a population. Mean (B) refers to the average of a set of data. Median (D) refers to the middle value when data is arranged in order. None of these descriptions fit the situation described in the question.
