Tavious imperial · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Statistics is used to make inferences about a population based on data collected from a sample. However, it is not possible to collect data on every member of a population, so there is always a possibility of error or uncertainty in making statements about the entire population based on the sample. In statistical inference, the population parameter is not directly tested.
