In a triangular distribution, what does M represent?

  1. Minimum value

  2. Maximum value

  3. Median value

  4. Most likely value

The correct answer is: Most likely value

A triangular distribution is a type of probability distribution that is commonly used in situations where there is uncertainty about the value of a variable. It is characterized by a triangular shape, with the most likely value located at the peak of the triangle. This value, represented by M, is the mode of the distribution and is the most frequently occurring value. The other options, such as minimum, maximum, and median values, are all characteristics of other types of distributions and do not apply to a triangular distribution. Therefore, option D is the most accurate answer.
