List at least 5 differences of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.

1. Descriptive Statistics describes the population under study, while Inferential Statistics draws
conclusions about the population, on the basis of sample analysis and observation.
2. Descriptive statistics deals with the organization, analysis and presentation of data in a
meaningful way, while inferential statistics compares, tests and predicts data.
3. Descriptive statistics illustrates data in charts, graphs and tables, while inferential statistics
utilizes probability.
4. Descriptive statistics elaborates a situation, , while inferential statistics explains the chances
of occurrence of an event.
5. Descriptive statistics explains the data, which is already known, to summarize sample, while
inferential statistics attempts to extend beyond the data available.

Activity #4: ESSAY

Answer in not more than 5 sentences:

Among the fundamental elements of Statistics, which for you is the most essential? Justify your
answer.

(place your answer here)

The description “fundamental” gives an outright implication that the absence of one
element is the totality of none, but if I were to choose, I’d say sample. By the definition
itself, it can be deduced that no data can be collected, organized, and analyzed if the
subject for analysis, the sample, does not exist. A sampling unit is the building block of a
data set (Daniel, 2018, as cited in SST, 2018).
