Consider the following frequency distribution: | Value | 4 | 5 | 8 | 9 | 6 | 12 | 11 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Frequency | 5 | f1f_1 | f2f_2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 | Suppose that the sum of the frequencies is 1919 and the median of this frequency distribution is 66. For the given frequency distribution, let α\alpha denote the mean deviation about the mean, β\beta denote the mean deviation about the median, and σ2\sigma^{2} denote the variance. Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II and choose the correct option. | List-I | List-II | | --- | --- | | (P) 7f1+9f27f_1 + 9f_2 is equal to | (1) 146 | | (Q) 19α19\alpha is equal to | (2) 47 | | (R) 19β19\beta is equal to | (3) 48 | | (S) 19α219\alpha^{2} is equal to | (4) 145 | | | (5) 55 |

Answer: C. (P)−(5),(Q)−(3),(R)−(2),(S)−(1)(P) - (5), (Q) - (3), (R) - (2), (S) - (1)
