How are probability and statistics related?
Probability is the theoretical basis that underpins statistics.
Is Inferential statistics based on probability theory?
Yes; the p value used in hypothesis testing is probability. See the related link.

Types of statistics?
There are two types of statistics. One is called descriptive statistics and the other is inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics is when you use numbers. Inferential statistics is when you draw conclusions or make predictions.
Compare and contrast descriptive statistics and inferential statistics?
Descriptive statistics are meant to describe the situation such as the average or the range. Inferential statistics is used to differentiate between a couple of groups.
Why do you think is probability used as basis for inferential statistics?
Inferential statistics are used in situations where it can be assumed that random behaviour(s), subject to the mathematical laws of probability, must be taken into account.

What is inferential data?
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.

Why are measures of variability essential to inferential statistics?
Which branch of statistics would employ probability to predict how many miles one should be able to drive a 2000 Toyota celica during its lifetime?
inferential statistics
When should inferential statistics typically be used?
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".
What are descriptive statistics and inferential statistics?
Descriptive statistics is a summary of data. Inferential statistics try to reach conclusion that extend beyond the immediate data alone.
What are the two kinds of statistics?
Descriptive and Inferential Statistics
Does inductive statistics and inferential statistics same?
yes

What are the advantages and disadvantages of inferential statistics?
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.
