Statistics - Mean/Median/Mode/Range - Definition to Name (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on the basic concepts of statistics, specifically the measures of central tendency and dispersion: mean, median, mode, and range. It involves identifying the correct statistical measure based on provided definitions. Each question presents a definition (e.g., the most commonly occurring number in a set) and asks to match it with the correct term from the options provided (mean, median, mode, or range). This serves as an introductory practice to understand and distinguish between these fundamental statistical descriptors.
