  • Differences between descriptive and inferential statistics

    Descriptive statistics is used to describe or summarize data from a sample or a population. Inferential statistics, on the other hand, is used to draw inferences about a larger group (i.e., population) using data from a smaller group (i.e., sample).

  • Statistic Problem

    Note that the sample is a subset of the population about which inferences are to be made.

  • STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

    The use of sample instead of the population saves time and money. On the basis of Sample Statistical Analysis, population inferences can be effectively done.
