Inferential statistics is a form of quantitative data analysis that allows generalisations from a sample to a basic population. Using inferential statistical methods such as t-tests, ANOVAs and chi-square tests, we can test research hypotheses and draw conclusions for the population based on statistical models and the samples.
As there are many statistical techniques for conducting quantitative analyses, ZSI offers support in selecting the most appropriate method, which varies depending on the target group and the main research questions.
