Statistical inference involves using data from a sample to make conclusions about the population from which the sample was drawn. It includes estimation of population parameters and testing hypotheses about parameters. Confidence intervals provide a range of values that are likely to contain the true population parameter, based on a sample statistic and a confidence level such as 95%. The width of the confidence interval depends on factors like the sample size, standard deviation, and desired confidence level.

1. • Statistical inference is the process of reaching
conclusions about characteristics of an entire population
using data from a subset, or sample, of that Population.
• The process of making guesses about the truth about a
population parameter from a sample statistic.
• To Draw the conclusion about the population parameter
by using sample information.
• Parameter ? u
• Statistic ? X-bar , s, regression coefficient
