Inferential Statistics
Get introduced to sampling methods and terms.
Inferential statistics is a branch of statistics that makes inferences or predictions about a population based on a sample. In inferential statistics, we use models, formulas, and other varied methods to make estimates, predictions, and generalizations about a population. Using these methods, we can estimate population parameters, find confidence intervals, conduct hypothesis tests, and compare samples.
Population and sample
Population refers to all the individuals or elements we are interested in for a particular statistical study. All people living in a country are an example of a population.
