Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistical reasoning involves making inferences and generalizations about a population based on information obtained from a sample. Therefore, choosing correctly from a sample to a population is a key component of statistical reasoning. Option A is incorrect because range and standard deviation measure variability, but they do not involve generalizing from one set of data to another. Option B is incorrect because standard deviation and mean are both summary statistics used to describe a single set of data, not to generalize from one set of data to another. Option D is incorrect because a scatterplot and a skewed distribution are both graphical displays used to describe a single set of data, not to generalize from one set of data to another.
