Statistics and Inferential Statistics.

Descriptive statistics is the type of statistics wherein the data is summarized through the given
observations. The summarization is one from a sample of population using parameters such
as the mean or standard deviation.

Inferential statistics is used to interpret the meaning of Descriptive statistics. That means once
the data has been collected, analyzed and summarized then we use these stats to describe
the meaning of the collected data. Or we can say, it is used to draw conclusions from the
data that depends on random variations such as observational errors, sampling variation,
etc.

_________________________________47. Hello. My name is Zack and I'm going to give you a few
simple lessons on how to sync Google accounts. I must warn you though; this is for newbies. If
you're at all experienced at this sort of thing, you'll probably find this tutorial a bit of a
yawner.

_________________________________48. At one time or another, most of us have suffered from

nightmares. Nightmares are bad dreams that take place during the deepest level of sleep.
They are usually brief and upon waking can be remembered in detail. Night terrors, however,
are a good deal more anxiety producing. During a night terror, the sleeper experiences a
feeling of total panic, and that panic may last for fifteen or twenty minutes. During this time,
the victim may scream or shout in fear. Usually, however, upon waking, the sleeper only
vaguely remembers what caused the terror.

________________________________49. As you might already know, there is no direct intermixing
of blood between a mother and her unborn child. However, some substances—especially
drugs—can still have a powerful effect on the fetus. If, for example, the mother is addicted
to morphine, heroin, or methadone, the baby may be born with the same addiction. For that
matter, even high doses of aspirin appear to have some effect on the fetus. In at least one
study, high doses of aspirin have been linked to lower IQs in infants.

________________________________50. Recently, many companies have been organized

against child labor. The children are made to work as daily laborers in mines, factories, motor
garages, tea stalls, and shops. Many work as servant in middle-class households. There are a
few households that provide the or child servants with adequate food and clothing. They are
deprived of education and the joyous experiences of children. It is the extreme poverty of
the parents that leads the children to adopt this profession.
To solve this problem, we need, not only strict laws but also thorough economic reform to
lower the poverty line. The birth rate must be controlled irrespective of caste and religion
and illiteracy should be removed. Otherwise, the high-sounding resolutions by the leaders on
Children’s Day will remain false promises.
