Re: Mean, Medium, SD Question [#permalink]
Hi, you are right answer is E!

Explanation:

I : Z>N, from set B we may know that the medium M = Mean L, but we dont have any information about the distribution, which will indicate the standard deviation from the mean. The distribution of the elements in set B can be more diversed and deviated than the distribution of set A. hence its Z>N in inconclusive

II :R > M, R is a medium of both the sets put together, while M is the medium of set A. Neither we have any information about the range of the elements in A and B, nor we know the elements of both the set. hence comparisons of mediums of individual sets with the medium of set [A+B] put together may not result anything.

III : Inconclusive for the reasons mentioned above.


regards,

Amardeep
