Which of these should be used as a way to make an educated guess about the relationship between?
inferential statistics
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.
Do inferential statistics provide descriptive information about a distribution of scores?
Not necessarily. Inferential statistics are statistics which are used in making inferences about some distribution. The only requirement is that they are based only on the set of observed values.
Techniques used to determine something about a population based on a sample?

Why inferential statistics is not required in census?
Inferential statistics is not required in a census because a census aims to collect data from every individual in a population, leaving no room for sampling error or uncertainty. The goal of a census is to provide an accurate count or measurement of a specific characteristic within a population, making the need for statistical inference unnecessary. In contrast, inferential statistics is used when data is collected from a sample of a population, and the goal is to make predictions or inferences about the larger population based on that sample.
