Question

If the results of the survey were claimed to indicate that 7.7% of adults in this country who own digital cameras plan to replace their camera in the next 12 months would you say this statement is descriptive or inferential

Answer 1

Answer: inferential

Step-by-step explanation: inferential statistics help us to make predictions ( that is, inferences) from that data. With inferential statistics, you take data from samples and make generalizations about a population.

Also, inferential statistics allow us to reach conclusions that extend beyond the immediate data alone

In this question, the survey reports on a sample of the country's population that make an inference to the population. It is therefore an inference statement.
