5) the entire group of interest in a given situation:
6) a branch of statistics that involves generalizing conclusions for an entire population:
A) Sample statistic
B) Population parameter
C) Data collection
D) Sample
E) Population
F) Inferential statistics

Answer 1

The terms and their definitions are as follows: 1) Sample statistic is a measurement of a sample. 2) Population parameter is a measurement of a population. 3) Data collection is the branch of statistics that involves collection of data. 4) Sample is a subset of a population that is collected and studied. 5) Population is the entire group of interest in a given situation. 6) Inferential statistics is a branch of statistics that involves generalizing conclusions for an entire population.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Sample statistic (A): a measurement of a sample
2. Population parameter (B): a measurement of a population
3. Data collection (C): the branch of statistics that involves collection of data
4. Sample (D): a subset of a population that is collected and studied
5. Population (E): the entire group of interest in a given situation
6. Inferential statistics (F): a branch of statistics that involves generalizing conclusions for an entire population
