Sex, Sleep, and PTSD. In the article, "One's Sex, Sleep, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder" (Biology of Sex Differences, Vol. 3, No. 29, pp. 1-7), I. Kobayashi et al. study the relationship between one's sex, sleep patterns, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma exposure. The authors report that women have a higher lifetime prevalence of PTSD as well as a greater risk of developing PTSD following trauma exposure. Relationships between sleep and physical health have been documented in a number of studies, and the authors explore the possibility that disruptive sleep habits are common among people with PTSD and also a possible risk factor for the development of PTSD. A questionnaire of men and women with and without PTSD produced data on their sleep habits.

Ideally, in stratified sampling, the members of each stratum should be relative to the characteristic under consideration.

In Exercises 1.7-1.12, classify each of the studies as either descriptive or inferential. Explain your answers.
