Answer 6

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is d) inferential statistics.

In this scenario, the researcher is using a random sample of 237 employees to draw conclusions about the entire population of over 10,000 employees. By collecting data from the sampled employees, the researcher can make inferences or predictions about the morale of all employees in the company.

Inferential statistics is the branch of statistics that involves using sample data to make inferences or draw conclusions about a larger population. It allows researchers to generalize their findings from a smaller group (sample) to a larger group (population).

On the contrary, descriptive statistics (option b) involves summarizing and analyzing the characteristics of the collected data itself, without making inferences to a broader population. Projective analysis (option c) is not a commonly recognized term in statistics, and sampled statistics (option a) does not accurately describe the process of inferring population characteristics from a random sample.
