In statistics, the direct conclusion (also inclusion conclusion ) is the conclusion from the population to a sample. This conclusion is the opposite of estimating , in which the sample is used to infer the population. The direct conclusion is therefore also called the reverse or inference .

The direct conclusion is used, for example, when forecasts are to be made for individual cases. The background is the theory of probability .

Example: For a population of 1000 people it is known that there are 50% women and 50% men. Then the direct conclusion is that a random sample of 10 people is most likely to have 5 women and 5 men.
