✅ Correct Option: 3

A parameter is a measurable characteristic of a population (the entire group).

A statistic is a measurable characteristic of a sample (a smaller group selected from the population).

A sample is a smaller group selected from a population to represent that population.

An alternative hypothesis is the assumption made opposite to the null hypothesis in hypothesis testing.

(A) The measurable characteristic of a population is called → (iii) Parameter

The key term is "population" which refers to the entire group.

(B) The measurable characteristic of a sample is called → (iv) Statistic

The key term is "sample" which refers to a smaller group from the population.

The definition directly describes a sample as a subset representing the whole population.

(D) The assumption made opposite to the null hypothesis is called → (ii) Alternative hypothesis

The alternative hypothesis is defined as the opposite of the null hypothesis.

The correct matching is:

(A) → (iii) Parameter

(B) → (iv) Statistic

(D) → (ii) Alternative hypothesis

Consider the following hypothesis test:

$H_0: \mu \leq 25$

$H_a: \mu > 25$

A sample of 25 provided a sample mean of 27.80. The population standard deviation is 5, then the value of the test statistic is
