inferential statistics
I think it is inferential...because you are using a larger population
Inferential statistics is concerned with making predictions or inferences about a population from observations and analyses of a sample. That is, we can take the results of an analysis using a sample and can generalize it to the larger population that the sample represents. In order to do this, however, it is imperative that the sample is representative of the group to which it is being (generalized).
@texaschic101 @Albany_Goon how about this one Solve. A farmer randomly inspected 16 of his 93 peach trees for signs of disease. Two of those trees showed signs of disease. Find . (Points : 1) about 2% about 6% about 13% about 17%
he inspects 16 of 93 trees....so he inspects approximately 17% of his trees 2/16 inspected are bad...1/8 (12.5%) inspected are bad I am not sure what your question is asking
this is what it says @texaschic101 I really need help with both
