Why would a statistician consider an inference incomplete without an accompanying measure of itsreliability?

Choose the correct answer below.

A.

The measure of reliability separates the science of statistics from the art offortune-telling; it provides a bound on the estimation error.

B.

The measure of reliability is a value(probability) assigned by the individual making the inference to indicate the accuracy of theirinference; it is based on what they believe the strength of their research was and the quality of the sample. Without thisvalue, there is no way to differentiate the validity of the inference from pure guessing.

C.

The measure of reliability is a strength rating based on the quality of the sample used to make theinference; it is a measure of the validity of the inference.

D.

The measure of reliability is a strength rating based on the sources providing the inference. The better thesources, the stronger therating, and the more likely that the inference is true.
