Answer:

c) Sample parameters are usedto make inferences about population statistics

Explanation:

In statistics we use samples to make inferences about population

That is the great advantage of the whole role of distribution. Once you know a particular situation or experiment, that you can associate to one specific distribution and compute parameters, you can obtain from a relative smaller quantity of dataand with good approximation, inferences about the whole population (that can be conform by a very big numbers of elements)
