Answer:

The given statement describe inferential statistics.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Descriptive Statistic:

  • It helps us to summarize a given data set.
  • It could describe the entire population or a sample from the population.
  • There are two types of descriptive measures: measures of central tendency and measures of variability
  • Central Tendency: Mean, mode, Median
  • Measure of Viability: Standard Deviation, Variance, Range, Interquartile range

Inferential Statistic:

  • It s the process of estimating population parameter with the help of a sample from the population.
  • A random sample from the population is used to describe the population with the help of sample statistic.

Given Scenario:

"Based on a sample of 170 truck drivers, there is evidence to indicate that, on average, independent truck drivers earn more than company-hired truck drivers."

Thus, this is an example of a inferential statistics as a sample was used to estimate the population.

Here,

Sample:

Sample of 170 truck drivers

Population:

All truck drivers.

With the help of a sample, we approximated the population, thus, this statement describe inferential statistics.

The mean age of Mr Jasmi,Miss Haslinda and their three children is 38 years. The mean age of their three children is 18 years. C
DedPeter [7]
Answer: 68

Explanation:

Let x be the age of Mr Jasmi
y be the age of Miss Haslinda
a + b + c be the age of the 3 children

We can write:
(x + y + a + b + c)/5 = 38

But:
(a + b + c)/3 = 18
a + b + c = 18(3)
a + b + c = 54

Substitute this value to our first equation

(x + y + 54)/5 = 38
x + y + 54 = 38(5)
x + y + 54 = 190
x + y = 190 - 54
x + y = 136

Thus:
Mean age of (mr jasmi and miss Linda) = (x+y)/2

But x + y = 136

=> mean age = 136/2 = 68
