"The underlying principle of all statistical inference techniques is that one uses sample statistics to learn something (i.e., to infer something) about population parameters ."
Demonstrate how well you understand this statement by writing a short paragraph describing a situation in which you might use a sample statistic to infer something about a population parameter. Clearly identify the sample, population, statistic, and parameter in your example. Would you use a confidence interval or a hypothesis test?
Be as specific as possible.
