Correct Answer

Option cLaw of Statistical Regularity

All Options:

  • APrinciple of Inertia
  • BPrinciple of Optimization
  • CLaw of Statistical Regularity
  • DPrinciple of Validity

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The **Law of Statistical Regularity** is a fundamental principle in statistics derived from the mathematical theory of probability. It states that if a moderately large number of items are chosen at random from a large group (population), they are almost sure to possess the characteristics of the large group on average.
Let us evaluate the options: - **Principle of Inertia (of Large Numbers)** states that larger database samples are more stable than smaller ones. - **Law of Statistical Regularity** states that a random sample represents the characteristics of its parent population. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
