Answer:

The purpose of statistical inference is to provide information about the population based upon information contained in the sample.

Explanation:

population based upon information contained in the sample

Explanation:

Statistical inference is the process of using data analytics to deduce proprierties of an underlying probability distribution.

For example, if I want to know the percentage of Buffalo Bills fans that are from Canada. There is no way I can ask this question to every Bills fan(every Bills fan is the population). What I can do, for example, is go to a game and ask some of the fans there, that is, of a sample.
