Answer:

Inferential statement

Explanation:

The provided information is an example of inferential because here inferences are being drawn about the population from the sample of 4.6% of people. Here, conclusion can be drawn by testing of the hypothesis and making predictions about the population.

Hence, the provided statement is an inferential statement.
