1. The problem asks to classify the statement: "The chances of you getting a new car is about the same as passing your math class." as either Descriptive or Inferential.
2. **Descriptive statistics** summarize or describe data from a sample or population without making predictions or generalizations.
3. **Inferential statistics** use data from a sample to make predictions or generalizations about a larger population.
4. The statement compares chances (probabilities) of two events, implying a prediction or generalization about outcomes.
5. Since it involves making a general statement about probabilities rather than just describing data, it is an **Inferential** statement.
**Final answer:** Inferential
