Are used to make statements about a population, based upon information from a sample; they're used to make inferences.

the area of it called hypothesis testing: a decision making process for evaluating claims about a population, based on inform. obtained from samples.

Use probability: the chance of an event occurring

1- Descriptive statistics

Give examples of man versus society conflict in a literary work.

Are used to describe or summarize data distributions.

Interval level

Has all the characteristics of the ordinal level of measurement, plus an underlying scale of equal intervals.

Ordinal level

Has all the characteristics of nominal level of measurement, plus the notion of order (i.e., greater than and less than).

Nominal level

Is based upon categories that are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
