Question

1. which statistical measure is often calculated by dividing the area under a curve into segments?

a. median
b. standard deviation
c. range
d. mode

Explanation:

The median is found by dividing the area under a probability - density curve into two equal - area segments. Standard deviation measures the dispersion of data, range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values, and mode is the most frequently occurring value. None of the latter three are calculated by dividing the area under a curve into segments.

Answer:

a. Median
