Questions and Answers

Why do inferential statistics only provide an estimate of population data?

  • Because the sample data is not an exact representation of the entire population. (correct)
  • Because probability is limited in inferential statistics.
  • Because exact population data is difficult to obtain.
  • Because inferential statistics are not accurate.
  • What is the main reason why probability is used in statistics?

  • To provide exact values of the population data.
  • To simplify complex statistical calculations.
  • To ensure 100% accuracy in estimates.
