Inferential Statistics consists of which of the following:

HINT: THERE ARE 3 CORRECT CHOICES.

• summarization of data

• determining relationships among variables

• performing estimations and hypothesis tests (evaluating claims about a population based on data from samples)

• generalizing from samples to populations

• presentation of data

Dividing a high school student population by grade level and randomly selecting 10 students from each grade level to get a 40 student sample represents:

What is the difference between a sample and a population?

A ​ (a)   is a set of all items or events which are of interest for some question or experiment.

It is generally the group you are trying to make predictions or learn something about.

For most studies, it is either impossible or impractical to obtain data on an entire population.

This is why you need to use a smaller selection of items.

A ​ (b)   is a selection of observations from a population.

We measure data in a known sample to make a prediction, or inference, about the population.

• population

• correlation

• sample

• causation

• ideation

• application

• understudy

• sample survey

• experiment

• observational study
