Answer:
Descriptive statistics consists of organizing and summarizing information collected, while inferential statistics use methods that generalize results obtained from a sample to the population and measure the reliability of the results.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, descriptive statistics summarize a given data set using measures of central tendency and measures of variability. Measures of central tendency include:
mean.
median.
mode.
Measures of variability include:
standard deviation.
variance.
the minimum and maximum variables.
By definition, inferential statistics are used to make generalizations about a population from data samples.
For example, you might ask a sample of 100 people if they like shopping. You could make a bar chart of yes or no answers (descriptive statistics) or you could use your research and then, reason which is the percentage of the population that likes shopping (inferential statistics).
