a) inferential statistics
b) the Remote Associations Test (RAT)
c) the Implicit Associations Test (IAT)
d) survey-judgment methodology

Answer 1

Inferential statistics

Explanation:

Inferential statistics is a very important branch of statistics. It is one of two branches. This branch is taken a random sample of data. Inferential statistics are very valuable. It is valuable for these when the inferences are not easy for all in the groups.

These statistics are important in the examination. For example, it is not possible to measure the diameter of each nail in the mill which is impractical. An investigator can measure the diameter of the only the sampled population.

So that here Reddy is using Inferential statistics.
