Both descriptive and inferential
statistics are both used in analysis of numeric data. Descriptive statistics
are used to reveal patterns through this analysis. Descriptive statistics describe
the group they belong to. Examples of descriptive statistics are frequency
counts, ranges, means, median scores, modes, and standard deviations. A
specific example would be: “The class had an average score of 90.2%”.
Inferential statistics are used to draw conclusions and make predictions through
this analysis. Inferential is about a larger group. Examples of inferential
statistics are experiments, probability, population, sampling, and matching. A
specific example is: “65% of Americans approve of the bill.”
