    A.

    Mean

    B.

    Range

    C.

    Mode

    D.

    Median

    Correct option is B

    · Mean: The mean is a measure of central tendency, representing the average of a dataset. It does not describe the spread or variability of data.
    · Range: The range is a measure of dispersion, as it indicates the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset, providing a sense of data variability.
    · Mode: The mode is another measure of central tendency, representing the most frequently occurring value in a dataset, and does not reflect data dispersion.
    · Median: The median is also a measure of central tendency, representing the middle value when the data is ordered. It does not measure dispersion.

    Additional Information:
    · Quartile deviation -> Half of the difference between upper and lower quartile
    · Standard deviation -> Measure of how disperse the data in relation to mean
    · Mean deviation -> Used to measure average deviation from the mean of given data
