Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inferential statistics involves using sample statistics to make inferences about population parameters. It is not possible to determine exact values for population parameters through inferential statistics, and it does not eliminate the problem of sampling error. It also does not involve using population parameters to estimate sampling distributions.
