Answer: Inferential statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, When we use inferential statics we use a random sample of information from a population (in this case 25 rats) to make inferences about a population.

These statics are commonly used when the data of an individual member of a population is not representative of its entirety.

The average score obtained from the 25 rats will give the researchers the eating behaviors of the rats.
