In the following question, identify which choices would be considered inferential statistics and which would be considered inferential statistics.
1. of 500 randomly selected people in new york city, 210 people had O+ blood.
a) "42 percent of the people in NYC have O+ blood" Is the statement descriptive statistics or inferential statistics?
b) "58 percent of the people in NYC do not have type O+ blood" Is the statement descriptive statistics or inferential statistics?
c) "42 percent of all people living in NY state have type O+ blood" Is the statement descriptive statistics or inferential statistics?
this makes no sense, u said which would be inferential and which would be inferential
Interferential statistics: generalization: all people living in NY State have type O+ blood
oops typo, In the following question, identify which choices would be considered descriptive statistics and which would be considered inferential statistics.
a) "42 percent of the people in NYC have O+ blood" is a descriptive statistic because it directly provides information about the 500 randomly selected people in NYC.
b) "58 percent of the people in NYC do not have type O+ blood" is also a descriptive statistic because it directly provides information about the 500 randomly selected people in NYC.
c) "42 percent of all people living in NY state have type O+ blood" is an inferential statistic because it makes an inference or estimation about a larger population (all people living in NY state) based on the sample (500 randomly selected people in NYC). To confirm this inference, data should be collected from a random sample representative of the entire NY state population.
