Solution

The statement is correct. The research question is asking for the mean number of characters used in the names of NZ "data businesses" in the researcher's sample. This is a sample-to-population inference because the researcher is trying to make an inference about the entire population of NZ "data businesses" based on a sample.

Here are the steps to answer this research question:

  1. Collect the data: The researcher needs to have a list of names of NZ "data businesses" in their sample.

  2. Calculate the number of characters: For each business name in the sample, the researcher needs to count the number of characters.

  3. Calculate the mean: Add up all the character counts from step 2 and divide by the number of businesses in the sample. This will give the mean number of characters used in the names.

  4. Make the inference: The researcher can then infer that the mean number of characters used in the names of all NZ "data businesses" is approximately equal to the mean number of characters used in the names in their sample.

Remember, this is an inference, not a certainty. The actual mean for the entire population could be different, especially if the sample is not representative of the population.

The researcher then carried out a similar sampling and inference approach but focused on comparing "human businesses" (businesses with the word "human" in their name and "psychology businesses" (businesses with the word "psychology" in their name).
