b. A statistic is a single measure, reported as a number, used to summarize a sample data set.
c. Descriptive statistics refers to generalizing from a sample to a population, estimating unknown parameters, drawing conclusions, and making decisions.

The Correct and E xplanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the correct responses with explanations for each statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 True<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the correct definition of statistics<\/strong>. Statistics is a branch of mathematics focused on gathering and interpreting data to uncover patterns and trends. It encompasses all aspects of the data process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 True<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A statistic<\/strong> refers to a numerical summary of a sample<\/strong>, not the whole population. Examples include the sample mean (x\u0304)<\/strong>, sample proportion (p\u0302)<\/strong>, or sample standard deviation (s)<\/strong>. Since it’s based on a subset<\/strong> of the population, it’s used to estimate population parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u274c False<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This describes inferential statistics<\/strong>, not descriptive. \u274c False<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While a census<\/strong> aims to collect data from every member of a population<\/strong>, it is often time-consuming and costly<\/strong>, making it less frequent<\/strong>. Therefore, the data may be outdated<\/strong> by the time it’s published. For instance, national censuses are typically conducted every 10 years in many countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u274c False<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This statement actually describes descriptive statistics<\/strong>, not inferential. a.

\n\n\n\nb. A statistic is a single measure, reported as a number, used to summarize a sample data set.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nc. Descriptive statistics refers to generalizing from a sample to a population, estimating unknown parameters, drawing conclusions, and making decisions.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Descriptive statistics<\/strong> simply summarize or describe<\/strong> features of a data set, such as averages, frequencies, or standard deviations. There is no generalization or prediction<\/strong>. The processes described in this statement (generalization, estimation, decision-making) are hallmarks of inferential statistics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nd. One of the advantages of censuses is that they provide up-to-date data.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\ne. Inferential statistics refers to the collection, organization, presentation, and summary of data, either by using charts and graphs or through numerical summaries.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Inferential statistics<\/strong> uses data from a sample to make inferences or predictions<\/strong> about a population. It includes tools like hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and regression analysis\u2014not just data presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
