Final answer:

Correlation is the option that is not a univariate statistic or descriptor, as it measures the relationship between two variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the provided options is not a univariate statistic or descriptor. Univariate statistics are calculated using data from a single variable.

  • Mean: A measure of central tendency, it represents the average value in a dataset.
  • Median: The middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest.
  • Standard deviation: A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.
  • Mode: The value that appears most frequently in a data set.
  • Data type: Refers to the kind of data, not a statistic.

The correct answer is B. Correlation, which is a bivariate statistic that measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
