Use the following information to answer the questions 12, 13, and 14.

The head of a locality in Chennai conducted a survey in her locality regarding Covid-19. According to the survey,
Statement 1: 59% of the residents consider Covid-19 to be a serious disease.
Statement 2: 41% consider it as normal flu and are of the opinion that there should not be any lockdown.

If all the residents of the locality participated in the survey, what statistical analysis can be done using this data?

How it will be the descriptive statistics?  If all the residents of the locality participated in the survey?

Suppose the survey collected data from 100 of the locality residents taken at random, and from that the above statements 1 and 2 were issued. Now, what statistical analysis can be done using this data?

How it will be inferential statistics ? if we are considering specific number of people?

Please need explanation.

[Statistics 1 Support 1]

Hi,

If all the residents are participated in the survey then you can do only descriptive statistics.

in the question it is mentioned that 100 resdents are chosen randomly, here word "randomly" is a meaning that there will be more residents are living in that locality. 

And from this random 100 people if we are predicting about the total residents in the locality then the study will be inferential statistics.
