Multiple Choice
A variable (or response variable) is
a characteristic of interest about each individual element of a population or sample
a characteristic that is irrelevant to the collection of the data
a characteristic that changes when the data is collected
a characteristic or trait that will be ignored in a sample population
5
Descriptive Statistics are used to summarise the data collected.
Inferential Statistics are used by the researcher to infer the properties of a population, based on the sample and prediction

Multiple Choice
These are the two types of statistics:
Discrete and Continuous
Population and Sample
Descriptive and Inferential
Mean and Standard deviation

Key Differences The differences between descriptive and inferential statistics lie as much in the process as in the statistics reported. Below are the key differences in descriptive vs. inferential statistics.
1. When describing a scenario, we use descriptive statistics, while analyzing the likelihood event, we use inferential statistics.
2. A specific population is explained using descriptive statistics using information that is already known. However, inferential statistics try to infer or draw conclusions about a complete population.
3. For descriptive statistics, we utilize tables and charts. For inferential statistics, we employ probability approaches. Instead of inferential statistics, which require us to establish a relationship between variables across the entire population, we can conduct a study more easily using descriptive statistics.
