Answer to Question 1

A statistical inference is a conclusion reached about a population value (parameter) based upon an analysis of data in a statistical sample from the population. The idea is that we can study the sample data and then draw a conclusion (inference) about what the entire population looks like with respect to the measure of interest. There are two main categories of statistical inference: estimation and hypothesis testing.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
