A) sample, sampling, and population
B) sample, EPSEM, representative
C) EPSEM, random, probability
D) sampling, percentage, normal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In every application of inferential statistics, we need to consider the distribution of the sample, the sampling method used to obtain the sample, and the population from which the sample was drawn. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because EPSEM (Equal Probability of Selection Method) is a sampling method, not a distribution. Option C is incorrect because EPSEM and random are sampling methods, not distributions, and probability is a concept used in statistics, not a distribution. Option D is incorrect because sampling and percentage are not distributions, and normal is only one type of distribution, not the only one involved in inferential statistics.
