What is the relationship between statistical inference and probability theory and how do I support it with examples?

Probability theory is the field of mathematics that enables statistical inferences to be made. All equations used in statistical inferences must be based on mathematics (theorems and proofs) of probability theory. An example to illustrate this. Given a normal probability curve with a mean = 0 and variance of 1, 68% of the area under the curve is in the range of -1 to 1, as calculated from probability theory. Since it is proved by mathematics, we can state it as a fact. If we collect data, and the average of the data is zero, and the standard deviation is 1, then we can infer that we are 68% certain that the population mean lies between -1 to 1. Our conclusion is inferred based on our limited and imperfect sample and the assumption that our population is normally distributed.

What is the 'and' rule in probability?
If the probability of A is p1 and probability of B is p2 where A and B are independent events or outcomes, then the probability of both A and B occurring is p1 x p2. See related link for examples.

Does an inference tell you how long something is?
It can. Basically, inference is looking at the evidence and coming to some conclusion as to what something is likely to be. That sentence has many vague words in it so here are some examples that might help: Logical inference: Dogs are mammals. Rover is a dog. Inference: Rover is a mammal. Mathematical inference works in the same way but the statements are mathematical. Statistical inference is also similar but the results refer to statements of likelihood rather than certainty. So, if I analysed the lengths of all of Shakespeare's plays, I could calculate the average length of a Shakesperian play and tell you that I expect a play of his to be around so many pages (or words). Or I could find out the maximum and my inference could be that the play is sure to be less than or equal to that number.
