Accepted Solution

A:
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).
