Why are measures of variability essential to inferential statistics?
inferential could mean to evolve or you could see the resemblance, or you could also put it like this deduced or deducible.

Descriptive and inferential
Inferential statistics, is used to make claims about the populations that give rise to the data we collect. This requires that we go beyond the data available to us. Consequently, the claims we make about populations are always subject to error; hence the term "inferential statistics" and not deductive statistics.
There is no inferential data. There is inferential statistics which from samples, you infer or draw a conclusion about the population. Hypothesis testing is an example of inferential statistics.
In general in Descriptive Statistics we use tools like central tendency, dispersion, skew, kurtosis to summarize a given set of data. But inferential statistics is much boarder than it. In inferential l statistics we use tools like chi square test, ANOVA, ACOVA, Correlation, Regression, Factor Analysis etc to predict the behavior based on the sample data.
Evaluative Statements are ATTITUDES (Robbins & Judge; Essentials of Organizational behavior p. 13).

inferential statistics allows us to gain info about a population based on a sample
Inferential statistics uses data from a small group to make generalizations or inferences about a larger group of people. Inferential statistics should be used with "inferences".

Sociology generalizes by identifying patterns in behavior across populations to draw conclusions about society as a whole. Objectivity is essential in sociology to ensure that interpretations of behavior are based on evidence rather than personal biases, leading to more accurate and reliable findings. Without objectivity, sociologists may skew their interpretations, leading to distorted understandings of social behavior.
One advantage of inferential statistics is that large predictions can be made from small data sets. However, if the sample is not representative of the population then the predictions will be incorrect.
