Question

Which of the following is an example of statistical interference?

Answer 1

Answer:

D). Selecting a representation of a population and translating it to a larger group.

Explanation:

Statistical inference is described as the method of employing data analysis to draw conclusions about the characteristics/properties of a population on the basis of a casual sample collected from the population. Such a method is primarily employed to learn the characteristics of a large population size.

As per the question, 'selecting a representation of a population and translating it to a larger group' would exemplify statistical inference as a sample is collected as a representation of the population for learning the characteristics and applying it to the entire group. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
