Download Solution PDF“An inference, as we shall use the term, is a statement about the unknown made on the basis of the known.
- Inferential statements are those statements that help in drawing an inference.
Key Points
| a) Objects released from a height tend to fall to the ground. | This statement already tells what happens to an object when it falls from height and it does not allow to make a prediction. |
| b) Fluids exert a force of friction on objects in motion around them. | This statement informs about the force of friction exerted by fluids. |
| c) Every individual possesses alleles and only one allele is passed on to the offspring. | This statement informs about the transfer of alleles from parent to offspring. |
| d) Objects tend to fall to the ground because of gravity. | This statement informs about why objects fall on the ground. |
Hence, we conclude that option 'A' is not an inferential statement as it does not allows us to make predictions from the data.
