Answer:

Option B) Use sample statistics to make decisions about population parameters

Explanation:

Statistical hypothesis testing

  • Hypothesis testing is a statistical method that is used in making statistical decisions using a sample that is taken from the population.
  • Statistical hypothesis testing is basically an assumption that we make about the population parameter. with the help of sample statistic.
  • Calculations are performed on samples to gather more information about the population.
  • This helps us to know that the particular sample belongs or does not belong to the population and estimate the parameters of the population with the help of this claim.
  • Probability sampling involves random selection from the population and non-probability sampling relies on the selection based on judgement of the researcher.

Thus, Option B) Use sample statistics to make decisions about population parameters is the correct answer.
