Explain the difference between descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
Descriptive statistics summarize data from a sample using indexes such as the mean or standard deviation, while inferential statistics draw conclusions from data that are subject to random variation.
What is the purpose of representative sampling in statistics?
Representative sampling assures that inferences and conclusions can reasonably extend from the sample to the population as a whole.
Describe the process of data collection when census data cannot be obtained.
Statisticians collect data by developing specific experiment designs and survey samples.
Differentiate between an experimental study and an observational study in statistics.
An experimental study involves manipulating the system and taking measurements to determine the impact of the manipulation, while an observational study does not involve experimental manipulation.
Explain the role of statistics in addressing scientific, industrial, or social problems.
Statistics is used to analyze and interpret data in order to draw conclusions and make informed decisions in various fields such as science, industry, and society.
