Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistical evidence allows scientists to deduce general characteristics about a class of objects with similar properties. It is not used to draw conclusions about a specific case or to determine the mechanism of a specific object or event. It also requires a sufficient sample size to draw reliable conclusions, so it may not be applicable to classes of objects with only a few members. Finally, statistical evidence provides insight into the behavior of a class of objects, but not necessarily an individual object.
