Question

Match List I with List II:
A. Product Moment Correlation
B. Student t distribution
C. F Test
D. The Genetic Theory of Natural Selection
Match with the following:
I. W.S. Gosset
II. Karl Pearson
III. R.A. Fisher
IV. G.W. Snedecor
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A - I, B - III, C - II, D - IV
• B. A - II, B - I, C - IV, D - III
• C. A - IV, B - I, C - III, D - II
• D. A - II, B - III, C - I, D - IV

Hint:

Pearson: correlation.
Gosset: t-test.
Snedecor: F-test.
Fisher: genetics and evolution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Various statistical and genetic concepts are associated with specific scientists.
We need to match each concept with its discoverer.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
No specific formula.
Need to know the history of statistics and genetics.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Product Moment Correlation was developed by Karl Pearson (A-II).
Student t distribution was developed by W.S. Gosset (B-I).
F Test was developed by G.W. Snedecor (C-IV).
The Genetic Theory of Natural Selection was developed by R.A. Fisher (D-III).
Thus, A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III is the correct matching.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct matching is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
