True or False
1. Statistics is only used in mathematics and has no applications in real life.
2. A population includes all possible observations, while a sample is a subset of the population.
3. Descriptive statistics involves summarizing and organizing data, while inferential statistics
involves making predictions or inferences about a population.
4. Statistics is only used by scientists and researchers.
5. Inferential statistics is used to draw conclusions about a population based on a sample.
6. Descriptive statistics helps in summarizing data but does not allow making predictions.
7. A sample must always be larger than a population.
8. A parameter describes a sample, while a statistic describes a population.
9. A well-chosen sample can provide insights about an entire population.
10. Statistics is not useful in business and decision-making.
