Week Seven Homework Exercise: Understanding Inferential Statistics and Statistical Errors in Behavioral Research Week Seven Homework Exercise Answer the following questions, covering material from Ch. 13 of Methods in Behavioral Research: 1. Define inferential statistics and how researchers use inferential statistics to draw conclusions from sample data. Inferential statistics is best defined as a kind of statistics that is most ideally used to determine whether or not researchers can formulate statements stating that the study results are the reflection of the occurrence of conducting the experiment for a number of times involving multiple samples (Cozby, 2009). The researchers of the study make use of inferential statistics to draw conclusions from a predetermined sample through the identification of the presence of equivalence, probability of error and research design. 2. Define probability and discuss how it relates to the concept of statistical significance. The possibility or the chance of the occurrence of something best describes probability. This is further related to the concept of statistical significance, for the fact that it is used to point out the likelihood or the possibility of the occurrence of an event provided that there is no modification in the given population.
