Which of the following represents the largest value in a data set?

  1. Minimum

  2. Average

  3. Median

  4. Maximum

The correct answer is: Maximum

The maximum value in a data set is the highest or largest number present. It represents the extreme end of the data range, showing the greatest amount or highest observation collected. This value is crucial when analyzing data, as it provides insight into the upper limits and variability of the dataset. While the minimum signifies the lowest value, the average gives a measure of central tendency by summing all values and dividing by the count. The median represents the middle value when the data is ordered. However, none of these represent the maximum; they serve different purposes in summarizing the data. Hence, to identify the largest value, the maximum is undoubtedly the correct choice.
